What is a Collection Centre?
A Collection Centre is a key part of a diagnostic lab network where samples are collected from patients and then transported to a central laboratory for testing. These centres act as satellite points, helping diagnostic labs reach more patients, especially in semi-urban, rural, or high-footfall areas like clinics and pharmacies.
