Industrial Cleaning and Refurbishment of The Pathology Laboratory Department

The Board and Management of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) wishes to advise the public that its Laboratory Department is currently undergoing a Cleaning and Refurbishment project which is scheduled to be completed by December 21^st, 2020.

The project required works to be done in several phases to address the industrial cleaning and refurbishment needs of its diagnostic and administrative units within the department.  In the interim, to ensure that patient care is not compromised, the Laboratory Department continues to offer a limited laboratory service and the QEH has partnered with the private sector to outsource laboratory services. This partnership has ensured the continuity of laboratory services for critical and urgent care which includes the testing of blood and blood products.

We the QEH Board and Management value the health, wellbeing and safety of our patients and staff. Therefore, we would like to assure the public that every effort is being made to safely complete the industrial cleaning and remedial works in the Laboratory Department within the shortest timeframe possible. The QEH sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused and looks forward to your usual support and cooperation in this matter as we strive towards “Getting Better Together”.
