For many reasons, it has become more challenging for individuals to make it to a lab for testing. For one, the person needing a test could be sick, elderly, battling a compromised immune system, or a caretaker to a family who cannot be left alone. Another reason could be convenience.

Understanding this, we at Afriglobal Medicare provide home services for COVID-19 sample collection and every other pathology testing we offer.

With our home collection service, you now have the convenience of getting your stool, tissue or blood test samples taken at home for testing without compromising your other needs or engagements.

Our home testing is also great for employers who want to know their employees’ health status or to offer free health screenings without disrupting the office’s business.

Why should you trust Afriglobal Medicare with your home collection?

Some of what you will be enjoying when you book our home collection service are:

  1. Flexible timing and convenience:

Because we understand our customer’s needs, you decide the timing that will be convenient for our home call.

You can also change your appointment time at least…. days before your booked appointment day.

  1. Professional & Highly Trained Phlebotomists:

At Afriglobal Medicare, all our phlebotomists are professionals highly trained in what they do. Thus, you can be confident that we will follow strict hygiene protocols to avoid sample contamination while en route to our lab for analysis.

  1. Zero infection risks:

Another benefit of having a lab test at home is that patients with a compromised immune system don’t have to worry about contracting any communicable disease during transportation to us.

  1. Electronic test results:

Enjoy speedy delivery of your test result(s) in your email once it is ready, instead of returning to our test centres for pickup.
