Anand Diagnostic Lab has now opened a 60,000 sq.ft facility and launched a drive-through blood collection service that will help customers reduce the time and effort required to give samples for required tests.

Now this initiative is to assist our customers in caring for their health, while addressing the issues of time constraints and parking woes in the city,” said Dr. Sujay Prasad, director, ADL.
“We have witnessed tremendous growth in the past four decades s. With this new facility, we add a new feather to our caps by being the only lab to have such a vast facility that offers a varied range of diagnostic services,” said Dr N. Jayaram, director, ADL.
ADL has pioneered several initiatives in the diagnostic industry.
