Laboratory Service
The City Health Office provides routine laboratory examinations to patients who can hardly afford the service of private clinics and hospitals. Some services like those of stool, sputum and leprosy are free as they primarily relate to the specific priority health programs of the city. The rest of the services are available for a minimal fee.
