EXCELLENCE IN HISTOPATHOLOGY

Saad Lab has a long history of excellence in Histopathology. The department is staffed by 17 consultants, 3 fellows, and 13 resident pathologists. It is one of the busiest histopathology departments in the country, dealing with more than 75,600 biopsies per year. Saad Lab receives biopsy specimens from all over Pakistan. Specimens are transported to Lahore in sealed containers with 10% buffered formalin. Accurate reporting in time is the cornerstone of the department philosophy, with 95% of the biopsies reported within 5 days of registration. Unusual and challenging cases are signed out after discussion on a multi-head microscope. Unexpected or urgent reports are communicated to the referring physician directly by the pathologists. The education of next-generation pathologists is also a very integral component of the department. 18 pathologists have cleared their specialist board examinations after completing their specialty training in the Histopathology department. The histopathology department also shares important teaching material online (patient identities are kept confidential) and runs a Twitter page with the name of ‘SaadPathRes’.
