A Word from Dr. Sherman
Dear Patient, Partner, and Friend of Labora,
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Whether you have just discovered Labora Diagnostics or have been a patient with us for some time, I want you to know that your health and wellbeing sit at the very centre of everything we do here.
Diagnostics is often described as the foundation of medicine — and rightly so. The accuracy of a laboratory result can determine the course of a patient's treatment, the peace of mind of a family, and in many cases, a life outcome. That is not a responsibility we take lightly. At Labora, every sample that passes through our doors is handled with the same rigour, the same care, and the same commitment to excellence — regardless of who the patient is.
I established Labora Diagnostics with a clear vision: to create a pathology laboratory that Kenya could be proud of. Not just in the quality of its science, but in the warmth of its people. In too many healthcare settings, patients feel like numbers. At Labora, we are determined that you will feel seen, respected, and cared for — from the moment you walk in to the moment you receive your results.
Our team is made up of qualified, registered professionals who share this conviction. They are trained not only in laboratory science, but in the kind of compassionate conduct that puts patients at ease. Our processes are aligned with international accreditation standards, our equipment is appropriate and well-maintained, and our quality management systems ensure that the result you receive is one you and your clinician can fully trust.
We offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic services — from routine haematology and clinical chemistry to complex molecular pathology, histopathology, and immunoassay testing. Whatever your diagnostic need, we are equipped and ready to serve you.
We are also deeply committed to the communities we serve. Healthcare in Kenya deserves world-class laboratory support, and it is my personal mission to contribute meaningfully to that goal. I am proud of what the Labora team has built, and I am excited about what lies ahead as we continue to grow and improve.
If you ever have questions, feedback, or simply want to understand a result, please do not hesitate to reach out. My team and I are always here.
Thank you for trusting us with your health.
Warm regards,
Dr. Omar Ali Sherman
