Dear Sir/Madam, I am reaching out to formally express my dissatisfaction with a significant issue regarding a laboratory report from your Anuradhapura branch. My name is Isuru Akalanka. On April 15, 2026, I had a Lipid Profile test done at your Anuradhapura location after a 12-hour fast. The report revealed an alarmingly high triglyceride level (over 800 mg/dL), which is critically abnormal for someone my age and physical condition (30 years old, 80 kg, 5’9”). Due to this shocking result, I consulted a doctor at Asiri Hospital (Kirula Road). The doctor was very concerned and referred me to a specialist immediately. Based on your report, I was prescribed medication and advised to undergo additional tests, including a Vitamin D test, which ended up being quite costly. However, because I questioned the accuracy of the initial report, I decided to repeat the Lipid Profile test at Asiri Hospital on April 18, 2026 (12-hour fast). The follow-up report showed triglyceride levels below 200 mg/dL, which is in a far more normal range. After reviewing both reports, the doctor confirmed that your initial report was likely incorrect and promptly stopped all prescribed medication. This incident caused me: - Unneeded emotional stress and anxiety - Exposure to potentially harmful medication - Financial loss exceeding LKR 30,000 (in addition to the LKR 3,000 spent on your test) I discussed this matter with your Anuradhapura Branch Manager, Mr. Sanjaya, who offered to repeat the test at no charge. However, this does not sufficiently address the gravity of the situation or the financial and health risks I faced due to the inaccurate report. This is not a trivial issue—it directly impacts patient safety and trust in your laboratory services. Therefore, I kindly request: 1. A formal explanation regarding the discrepancies in the test results 2. A thorough investigation into the accuracy and quality control of the test conducted 3. Appropriate compensation for the financial loss and inconvenience caused If this issue is not resolved satisfactorily, I will have no choice but to escalate it to the relevant health authorities and share my experience publicly. I look forward to a prompt and responsible response. Yours faithfully, Isuru Akalanka

The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. They make an effort to minimize the wait times for patients and clients. The basic facilities are good, making it a better choice for medical checkups compared to hospitals in Lanka. It's easy to walk here, as it's only about 200 meters from both Duplication Road and Galle Road.

The New Laboratory is thoughtfully designed with patients in mind, featuring multiple counters for both Pharmacy and Laboratory services along with a ticket system. The ambiance is pleasant and the space is air-conditioned. They’ve recently introduced a kiosk for manually printing lab reports. However, I find their prices to be quite steep, which leads me to not recommend this place. That said, many individuals who can afford their services do recommend it.

I am highly frustrated and let down by the unprofessional and irresponsible service at Durdans Laboratory in Norris Canal. We provided a blood sample from a government hospital for testing, as the patient was in urgent need of the results due to a severe medical condition. The hospital doctors were also waiting for the report to make critical medical decisions. Regrettably, the laboratory did not deliver the report on time. Despite multiple calls, we received no proper, honest, or reliable updates regarding when the report would be ready. What made matters worse was the demeanor of some staff members. While I was on hold waiting for an urgent update, I overheard staff casually discussing their personal lives, loans, and relationships instead of addressing my inquiry in a professional manner. Is this how a respected private laboratory should treat patients and their families during a medical emergency? A blood test is serious. Delayed medical reports can lead to severe consequences, especially when doctors are waiting to make crucial treatment decisions. We entrusted Durdans Laboratory with an urgent medical test, expecting professionalism, accountability, and timely service. Instead, we faced unnecessary delays, poor communication, and a complete lack of urgency. My advice for anyone facing a medical emergency: Consider alternatives before choosing Durdans Laboratory, Norris Canal. Based on my experience, I would strongly suggest steering clear of this branch for urgent testing. Patients are not paying for excuses or careless attitudes; they expect reliable medical service. Durdans management needs to take significant action regarding staff professionalism, report delivery delays, and communication with patients. Health and lives are at stake. Extremely disappointing. Completely unacceptable.
