Mullah Laboratories

Mullah Laboratories, initially called Papsmear Laboratories, was co-founded by Moonira Mullah and her husband Salim Mullah in 1997 providing Cytopathology Services throughout Africa. We are accredited by the Health Professions Council of South Africa and the Society of Medical Laboratory Technologist of South Africa. We have kept abreast with international technology trends and partnered with various research organizations and NGO’S to provide cytology screening services to disadvantaged communities throughout the country. In May 2015 Papsmear Laboratory partnered with Gift of the Givers Foundation to provide affordable diagnostic testing to all communities. This brought about the birth of Mullah Medical Technology Laboratories. We have an active registration with the Board of Healthcare funders and are directly re-imbursed by medical aid societies. Our services are available to both private and medical aid members at discounted rates benefiting all sectors of the community.
