Key takeaways
- A trained phlebotomist visits at the slot you book and collects the sample at home.
- Samples go to a certified lab, and reports usually arrive within 12 to 24 hours depending on the test.
- Follow any fasting instructions and keep your test request ready.
Home sample collection saves a trip to the lab and the wait in the queue, which helps most when you're unwell, elderly or simply busy.
How it works
- Book your test and pick a time slot that suits you.
- A trained phlebotomist arrives with sealed, single-use equipment.
- The sample is labelled in front of you and taken to the lab.
- Your report is shared digitally once it's ready.
Before the visit
- Check whether your test needs fasting.
- Drink water unless told not to.
- Keep your doctor's test request and ID handy.
With Medisri, home collection is free and tests are done at NABL-certified partner labs.
