Laboratory

Medicum’s partner for laboratory work is Synlab LLC Estonia, which is the largest privately held Estonian medical lab.

A referral letter from a doctor is necessary for analyses. In the absence of a referral letter, the analyses can be done for a charge.

To obtain accurate laboratory results it is important that the sample is taken correctly. Recommendations on how to prepare for giving blood samples and how to properly collect the samples can be found on the sampling instructions page.

Paid analyses

Our lab provides paid analyses that do not require a referral letter from a doctor. Price list for the paid laboratory services.

Please come to the blood sampling room and tell the nurse what kind of analysis you want. The nurse will issue an ordering sheet for paid services, with which you can pay for the analyses at the general registration. A blood sample can be given immediately or at any other appropriate time for the patient, observing the recommendations on lab analysis sampling. The samples are taken on the basis of a receipt.

Urine/stool analyses can be brought to a lab registration person (room 240), who will issue the paid services ordering sheet to be paid at the general registration.

The analysis results can be obtained from the lab registration person after presenting your personal identification document and the receipt.

We strongly recommend a prior visit to your doctor if you have health complaints.
