When should you get a mobile lab or home service?

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in demand in-home services, where patients can have laboratory tests and other diagnostic solutions done at their preferred location.

Home-based or mobile lab services in the Philippines are available to anyone who have diagnostic procedure requirements. While some people are unable to come in because of schedules or circumstances, others are advised to stay home and avoid visiting the hospital for lab procedures. These include immunocompromised patients, the bed-ridden, or the elderly.

Newly discharged patients who may need to have laboratory procedures done may be advised to stay home as well.
