Biolab Eswatini

Biolab Eswatini delivers comprehensive medical diagnostic testing to Mbabane and communities across the Hhohho District. As a wholly Swazi owned laboratory established in 2021, our team combines state-of-the-art instrumentation with technically proven methodologies to support clinical decisions and public health monitoring. We serve individual patients, referring physicians, corporate wellness programs, and community health initiatives through a growing network that includes our main laboratory in Mbabane and branches in Sidwashini and Manzini.

Every sample that enters our facility is handled with rigorous quality control processes, ensuring that clinicians receive accurate and timely results. Our laboratory has been assessed, approved, and certified by the Ministry of Health to provide medical laboratory services, and we participate in a global network of laboratories that continuously pilot new cutting-edge products. From routine chemistry panels to advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for oncology, our service menu addresses the evolving diagnostic needs of patients in Eswatini and neighboring African countries.

Comprehensive Test Menu

Biolab Eswatini offers a full spectrum of pathology services designed to support primary care, specialist referrals, and chronic disease management. Our core departments operate with modern analyzers and validated protocols.

• Chemistry: Electrolyte panels, liver and renal function tests, lipid profiles, glucose monitoring, and therapeutic drug monitoring help clinicians evaluate metabolic health and medication effectiveness.
• Hematology: Complete blood counts, coagulation studies, and blood film morphology provide critical data for diagnosing anemia, infection, bleeding disorders, and hematologic malignancies.
• Immunochemistry: Hormone assays, tumor marker panels, and infectious disease serology—including hepatitis and HIV screening—support endocrinology, oncology, and public health screening.
• Point-of-Care Tests: Rapid tests for malaria, pregnancy, urine dipstick analysis, and glucose monitoring deliver immediate answers in outpatient and community settings.

Specialized Molecular and Forensic Services

Our laboratory is a recognized leader in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for oncology, forensic analysis, and paternity testing. These advanced genomic techniques identify mutations that inform targeted cancer therapies and provide legally admissible DNA profiling for relationship verification and criminal investigations. Biolab Eswatini’s forensic services are trusted by legal professionals, government agencies, and families seeking confidential, conclusive results.

The DNA testing unit operates under strict chain-of-custody protocols, with dedicated phone support on +268 7872 5333 for clients requiring paternity, maternity, or sibling DNA analysis. We also coordinate with a global network of reference laboratories to offer expanded genetic testing panels when clinically indicated.

COVID-19 Testing and Infectious Disease Surveillance

Reliable COVID-19 diagnostics remain essential for workplace safety, travel clearance, and clinical management. Biolab Eswatini performs PCR and rapid antigen testing with same-day or next-day turnaround for most routine requests. Our team works closely with the Ministry of Health to report data that supports national epidemiological surveillance, and we provide group testing packages for corporate clients, schools, and event organizers in Mbabane and Manzini.
