The haematology department offers a broad spectrum of clinical haematology, immunohaematology and coagulation tests. The department analyses red and white blood cells for quantity, morphology and shape variations and it is here that indications of disease such as anaemia, leukemia, and other haematological diseases are diagnosed.

The full blood counts are performed on haematology analysers incorporating the latest state of art technology. Experienced scientists/medical technologists in the field of haematology screen peripheral blood film and they apply strict criteria incorporating clinical history and result analysis when reviewing the blood film under the microscope.

The haematology department also carries out coagulation assays to monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy (eg. warfarin), and detect coagulopathies. The laboratory can assist in appropriate dosing and management of patients on anti-coagulants.
