Welcome to Laboratory Services
Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College & Hospital Laboratory focuses on best quality patient care services. Accurate & timely reporting plays an important role in supporting medical decisions for the best patient care.
The clinical laboratory is equipped with latest state of the art technology Total Laboratory Automation System which enables Reduced Human Handling Error & provides reliable accurate test results within the fastest time period
A standard Laboratory Information System (LIS) is present and it is a powerful tool to manage complex processes, ensure the timely result and regulatory compliance. LIS is capable of consolidating complex technical processes into a single, compliant platform with comprehensive reporting, surveillance and networking capabilities. The system reduces the pre- & post-analytical mistakes and thus saves man hour. LIS enhances data management and data sharing within the laboratory, across the laboratories and beyond the lab stakeholders in particular.
KYAMCH lab can boast many firsts to its credit – to name a few:
Quick turnaround time (TAT) Customers’ satisfaction largely depends on the quick result. KYAMCH lab is strictly committed to fulfilling their TAT commitment as per following priority:
The quality result is the utmost target/priority :
Accuracy and precision of laboratory test results depend on stringent quality control measures. Laboratory results are being generated by automated analyzers and there is a notion that automated analyzers are expected to produce reliable results. In fact, this is not an appropriate notion. In laboratory testing process, there are numerous steps, numerous human involvements, many analytical requirements, reagents etc., and it is inappropriate to rely on this kind of notion. The possible errors or mistakes that can take place in the process of laboratory analysis of biological specimen are pre- & post- analytical avoidable mistakes contributing to >80% errors resulting in non-conformity, non-compliance, unexpected or bad test results. So, quality control is a process where there is a need of compliance by the users, phlebotomists, receptionist and laboratory staff.
The pathology laboratory of Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College & Hospital performs two QC programs.
- Internal Quality Control (IQC)
- External Quality Assessment (EQA)
Internal Quality Control
IQC is a set of procedures undertaken by laboratory staff for the continuous monitoring of operations and the results of measurements in order to decide whether results are reliable enough to be released and it is vital to achieve the analytical quality. IQC materials are run once a day and the test results are validated based upon acceptable QC range assigned by the laboratory or manufacturer.
External Quality Assessment
Policy on Outside Collected Samples for Laboratory Testing
The following policy will be followed on samples collected from outside patients for pathology laboratory tests:

Histopathology/ Cytopathology/ Immunohistochemistry
Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College & Hospital plays an important role in Cancer Diagnosis as a one-stop centre in Bangladesh. Also has the facility to provide Tumor Board for critical cancer cases.
The laboratory also provides Immunohistochemical test for Accurate Cancer Typing
The laboratory has launched a PAP test for uterine (cervical) cancer screening of women.
Every Cancer Report are verified by at least two qualified Pathologists & detailed documentation is maintained according to the College of American Pathologists (CAP) protocol for the better cancer management
Histopathology :
Cytopathology: Available in all the working days.
- Gynaecological (Cervical cytology screening):
We provide cytopathological reports of cervical/paps smear, which help guide clinicians
on what treatment to give patients. We aim to pick up the early stages of
cancer the cervical screening programme and refer these to colposcopy for
further examination.
Non-gynaecological (Diagnostic cytopathology) :
- This includes fine needle aspirates (FNAs) from any palpable lump e.g.
lumps in the breast, extrimities, neck etc.
- We also offer diagnostic cytology on effusions, fluids, and
washings/brushings from respiratory and digestive tracts, and urine.
- We also do guided-FNc ( USG guided and CT guided) (From the iung,liver, pancrease, oyary, pelvic mass, retroperitoneal mass, ovary and testis)
- We differentiate between malignancy and non-malignancy in all our
diagno stic cyto 1o gy (non- gynae colo gical) specimens’
Immunohistochemistry :
- Breast cancer biomarkers package (ER, PR, HER-2/Neu)’
- Lymphoma profile (including Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma).
- Multiple myeloma.
- Soft tissue sarooma.
- Mqlignant melanoma.
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
- Neural tumor.

Microbiology
KYAMCH offers a full range of microbiological services including covid-19 RT-PCR, Rapid antigen testing, and Operation Theater mandated environmental testing. With years of experience working with clinicians, product developers, and more, our microbiologists have the professional expertise to help ensure the safe utilization of microbiological services.
Diagnostic microbiology has been developing to rapidly detect and accurately identify implicated microorganisms in test specimens through a variety of techniques. Technologic changes have made constant and enormous progress in the various areas including bacteriology, mycology, mycobacteriology, parasitology, and virology during the past two decades in the field of diagnostic microbiology.
KYAMCH Microbiology Lab
Microbiology section of KYAMCH lab is equipped with automated analyzer for microbial identification & sensitivity; minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) can be determined in selected cases.
The section brings much benefit to the doctors and the patients providing an early report when positive alarms even after 24 hours of sample incubation.
Special arrangements for information of critical reports (such as blood/ CSF culture etc) to the clinicians are also provided with. Strict safety environment is maintained while doing the test procedure.

ANALYSES: ( AUTOMATED CULTURING SYSTEM)
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world’s most common severe infectious diseases. Approximately 2 million deaths per year are TB-related. A single patient with an active TB may infect 10 to 15 other people each year. In the fight to stop the spread of TB the most important milestone is early diagnosis. However, diagnosis of TB is a challenge. KYAMCH is pioneer in detecting TB from any kind of specimen. Moreover, we can simultaneously detect non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). We already have detected TB from sputum, BAL, any aspirate, body fluids, CSF, urine, tissue, tissue block (paraffin block), pus and are accepting these specimens for test.
