Today is International Pathology Day – a day to recognise, celebrate and thank the teams that make pathology work!

From the phlebotomist you meet in our centres, our courier team getting the right thing to the right place, through to the technicians, scientists and pathologists who process and report your health information; we treat every collection, sample, and test like it could be our mum, grandparent, friend or workmate.

Thank you to all of the people in the Awanui Lab's whānau who play the vital role of supporting 70% of all medical decisions and 100% off cancer diagnosis in Aotearoa.
