UniLabs Diagnostics is established
Unison established UniLabs Diagnostics as its diagnostic wing, bringing specialised microbiology and infectious-disease testing together with routine pathology, biochemistry, home sample collection and integrated laboratory services.
The continuing story
Built through people, practice and public health.
Unison's history is not only a sequence of dates. It is a record of responding early, building trust with communities and bringing that experience into everyday clinical care.
Today, the centre connects senior clinical judgement with adult medicine, infectious diseases, microbiology, counselling and diagnostics—while keeping the person behind the diagnosis in view.
A legacy in practice
What has remained constant.
Clinical courage
Recognising emerging health challenges early and responding with evidence, attention and practical care.
Dignity without exception
Confidential, non-judgmental care shaped by decades of working with people who were too often overlooked.
Knowledge shared
Extending care beyond the consultation room through teaching, research, advocacy and public-health communication.
