Metropolis Healthcare was the first laboratory to reduce the test price in Mumbai to make it affordable for the patients. People who contract swine flu are usually from the high risk group: children below 3-4 years, pregnant women, elderly people and patients with chronic disease. Metropolis will offer home collection to ensure customer convenience and safety. With a well trained in-logistics team and a supremely efficient accession and operation team, Metropolis Healthcare is well positioned to issue reports within 8-24 hours depending on the proximity of the location and the time of collection.

Only few select labs in India are authorized to carry out the Swine Flu test in the laboratory, as this requires specialized testing backed by high end technology and special sample collection requirements.
Dr. Nilesh Shah, Group President, Scientific Services & Operations says, “Metropolis Healthcare complies with all requirements of state government. We previously used to send all our samples to Chennai and provide reports within 24 - 26 hours. But now we are happy that our customers will get reports within 8-24 hours. We are also looking forward to applying for permission in Delhi."
Metropolis has ensured adequate availability of kits at its three reference laboratories in Mumbai, Pune and Chennai, which are accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Laboratories (NABL).
