Medical laboratory services firm, Lancet Group has acquired a new cancer test machine that will help cut diagnostic costs by about Sh50,000.

“With the new machine we currently charge Sh30,000 for the tests whereas before they would cost over Sh80,000 when sent abroad. Also, results are now available in two hours compared to the two weeks when sent out,” said Dr Ahmed Kalebi of Lancet Group of Laboratories.
