Abstract

Context: Laboratory physician's role by and large is confined to diagnostics and academics. Exposure on practical aspects is limited which is nevertheless essential. There is a significant gap in literature on how a four walled space is transformed into functioning laboratory.. We wish to narrate challenges and experiences faced during the process of setting up a diagnostic pathology laboratory attached to a teaching hospital in a rural geographic area.Materials and Methods: Bulk of data is the authors first-hand experience in setting up the laboratory from October 2019 to July 2021. For specifications and infrastructure related information, guidelines of national and international statutory governing bodies like National Medical Commission (NMC), National Board for Accreditation of Laboratories(NABL), Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI) were referred along with discussion from peers working in established laboratories. Various facets to make a laboratory fully functional were compiled and presented.
