ABOUT EQ Medical Laboratory & Diagnostics

Africa's benchmark for molecular precision

A specialized medical laboratory delivering trusted genetic and infectious disease insights that guide clinical decisions and advance public health.

OUR STORY

Built around molecular diagnostics

EQ Medical Laboratory & Diagnostics was established to close a gap in accessible, accurate molecular testing — combining PCR-based platforms, genetic testing and oncology biomarker analysis with clinical interpretation clinicians can act on. Where a test falls outside our primary molecular scope, we work with accredited partner laboratories so patients are never turned away.

Vision

To be Africa's benchmark for molecular precision, delivering trusted genetic and infectious disease insights that transform patient care, guide clinical decisions, and advance public health.

Mission

Committed to providing accurate, timely, and clinically relevant molecular diagnostics across infectious diseases, genetics, oncology, and pharmacogenomics — combining ISO 15189-accredited processes, validated technologies, and expert interpretation.
