The Department of Laboratory Medicine is a specialized medical department that supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning by analyzing a wide range of human-derived specimens, including blood, urine, and tissue samples.

Laboratory medicine testing goes beyond the provision of numerical results. It plays a critical role in disease diagnosis and differential diagnosis, assessment of disease severity and progression, determination of treatment strategies, and evaluation of prognosis.

For patients with infectious diseases, the department identifies causative pathogens and performs antimicrobial susceptibility testing to guide appropriate therapy. It also ensures the safe supply of blood products for patients requiring transfusion.

In addition, the department contributes to early disease detection and prevention through health screening and diagnostic testing, and supports post-treatment care by monitoring therapeutic effectiveness and recovery.

The Department of Laboratory Medicine at Sejong Hospital provides optimal diagnostic information through accurate and timely testing, strict adherence to international standards, and systematic safety management.
