Most advanced pathology work in Kenya still gets shipped overseas, adding weeks to results. CA Medlynks runs the full pipeline locally in Nairobi — from routine histology to NGS-based cancer genomics.
The study of diseased tissue under a microscope — where diagnosis actually happens.
Four tiers, each building on the one before it.
Tissue fixed in formalin, processed, sectioned, and stained with H&E. Sufficient for the majority of routine diagnostic cases — every case starts here.
Antibody staining reveals tumour cell type and origin. Used for classifying lymphomas, distinguishing primary vs metastatic tumours, and hormone receptor testing (ER, PR, HER2).
Detects specific DNA/RNA sequences — identifying infectious organisms or gene mutations that guide cancer treatment. Results typically ready within 7 hours.
Analyses hundreds or thousands of genes simultaneously. Used in oncology for tumour profiling, actionable mutations, and matching patients to targeted therapies.
Sending specimens to CA Medlynks is straightforward. The lab accepts referral specimens from hospitals, clinics, and research institutions across Kenya — you do not need to be in Nairobi to use the service.
For hospitals, research institutions, and clinical trials that generate regular histopathology volumes, CA Medlynks offers partnership agreements with volume-based pricing. These agreements include dedicated account management, priority turnaround times, and customised reporting formats.
If your facility currently outsources pathology work overseas, or you're setting up a clinical trial that requires local histopathology capacity, contact us for a custom quote.
