Histopathology Laboratory
 

The Histopathology Laboratory in St. Teresa’s Hospital is one of the earliest private pathology laboratories in Hong Kong. Starting from the late 70s, the laboratory has been providing histopathology and cytopathology service to patients in St. Teresa’s Hospital, as well as some outside clinics and laboratories. 

Currently with 7 Specialists in Pathology, we provide up-to-date, efficient and comprehensive histopathology and cytopathology service. 

We are also partnering with other institutes to provide more advanced and extended molecular pathology service for disease diagnosis and biomarker testing.

Our laboratory has been accredited under the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS) of the Hong Kong Accreditation Service since 2006. Please refer to the following link for our scope of accreditation under the HOKLAS scheme: www.itc.gov.hk/en/quality/hkas/doc/scopes/811P.pdf
