The Department of Pathology provides comprehensive diagnostic services with an emphasis on ensuring the quality of services including turn-around-time thereby helping and guiding the clinicians in proper patient management. The department started in 2002 and has shown an exponential growth since then. The various labs that function under this department are Histopathology, Cytology, Hematology and Clinical Pathology. All the labs are modernized, fully automated and well-equipped with trained personnel and state-of-the-art instruments like 6-part hematology Analyzer, automated ESR Analyzer, fully automated coagulometer, HPLC, automated urine analyzer, liquid based cytology, automated histopathology laboratory equipment and fully automated immunohistochemistry stainer. Immuno fluorescence testing and renal pathology has been introduced recently. The department handles over 11,000 histopathology, 9000 cytopathology and 4500 immunohistochemistry requests per year and has an extensive panel of over 50 immuno histochemistry markers. A 24x7 Hematology and Clinical Pathology laboratory caters to in-patients and out-patients and processes about 1800 tests per day.

The Department is dedicated to understanding the basis of disease and delivering excellence in teaching. Apentahead microscope and a decahead microscope together with trinocular microscopes with integrated camera and television attachment aid in providing quality medical education to undergraduate and post graduate medical students by skilled and experienced teachers. With an annual intake of six MD students the pathologists trained by our department are competent and well prepared to play key roles in patient care and research. The departmental museum houses nearly 250 gross pathology specimens which enable the students to get a better insight of the disease processes. The department is active in research, particularly in the area of cancer, and also participates in various external quality assurance programs to achieve excellence in patient care.
