Taking tests at home
What you need to know about the procedure
In the polyclinics of the “Mother’s House” centers, a service is available to all patients – taking tests at home. This service is especially convenient for taking tests from a child, because children are very sensitive to changes in the environment, react very sharply to any medical manipulations, especially in the conditions of a polyclinic. Children are often afraid of medical institutions for no reason.
Taking tests at home will greatly simplify the manipulations with young children, as well as with people who, for various reasons, cannot go to the clinic on their own.
Taking tests at home has a number of advantages:
- Convenience – you don’t need to waste time traveling to the laboratory
- Patient comfort – the procedure takes place in a familiar environment, which is especially important for children and the elderly
- Time saving – minimizing waiting in lines and convenient pick-up schedule
Collection of biomaterials for research at home is carried out in compliance with all standards of sterility. Disposable syringes, sterile systems, special flasks, test tubes, as well as containers for collecting urine and feces are used.
What you need to know:
It is also important to understand that almost all clinical tests that are taken in a clinic can be taken at home: clinical blood test, blood sugar level, blood group and Rh factor. You can also take a clinical urine test, coprogram, feces for helminth eggs, scraping for enterobiasis.
The service of calling a laboratory technician to your home can be ordered from Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 12:00. In addition to the cost of the call service, the laboratory technician's travel and the actual cost of the analysis are additionally paid, according to the price list of the "Mother's House" polyclinic.
Test results can also be obtained without leaving home, and information can be sent by email.
