Pharmacy chain Goodlife and Lancet Labs team up to tackle patient misdiagnosis

One of the new Lancet lab service centres inside Goodlife Pharmacy in Westgate Mall Nairobi.

Pharmacy chain Goodlife and Lancet Labs have announced a partnership that will see Lancet offer accredited lab testing services within Goodlife outlets in a move that helps address growing risks of misdiagnosis of patients within pharmacy settings.

This comes amid concerns over a large number of pharmacies across the country that are operating unlicensed medical labs within their premises and whose results are often not reliable, resulting in incorrect diagnosis and treatments of patients.
