Apart from tens of thousands of locals who patronize our services, we see a multitude of foreign patients especially from the Maldives and Seychelles along with expats who now frequent our Lab services” he further added.
The resounding success of LHD is also attributed to its’ global accreditation standards. LHD set the benchmark for supreme quality by stepping up to the gold standards of the laboratory accreditation program certified by the Colle ge of American Pathologists ( CAP). This international accreditation has given LHD its prestigious standing as the only CAPaccredited laboratory in the country.
