SA Pathology

Welcome to SA Pathology.

July 2008 signifies the beginning of a single statewide pathology service. Executive Director Professor Ruth Salom, an Anatomical Pathologist, heads the new service SA Pathology.

SA Pathology was formed by incorporating the State’s three public pathology services, the Institute of Medical & Veterinary Science (IMVS), SouthPath (the merged pathology services of Flinders Medical Centre and Repatriation General Hospital) and the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Division of Laboratory Medicine (WCHDLM).

SA Pathology provides quality pathology services to medical practitioners of South Australia and to all South Australian public hospitals through a networked system of 18 laboratories, consisting of branch laboratories in rural hospitals, general laboratories in large metropolitan hospitals and specialist laboratories providing tertiary referral and reference laboratory services. The strategic direction of SA Pathology is to provide a ‘Quality Pathology Service Supporting Training And Research”.
