Direct access laboratory tests

At Alegria Medical Centre, we understand that some patients wish to have direct access to laboratory tests in order to proactively monitor their health. That’s why we offer direct access laboratory tests (DAT), a convenient solution for monitoring your health without the need for a prior consultation. However, we strongly believe that access to these tests should be used with caution and responsibility.

Why choose direct access tests?

• Convenience: Complete your tests at your convenience, without waiting for an appointment.
• Prevention: Monitor key health indicators between consultations.
• Autonomy: Take control of your health with an initial level of information.

However, you should remain cautious.

Although convenient, these tests require careful consideration:

• Interpretation: Results can be difficult to understand without medical advice.
• Targeted Approach: Additional tests may be recommended by a doctor for a complete evaluation, while others may not be relevant to your case.
• Support: We strongly recommend discussing your results with a doctor to ensure proper interpretation and make the right decisions.

Our Advice

Use direct access tests as a supplement to your healthcare journey and, if in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional to ensure optimal follow-up.
