Our story began in 2010 as a small medical reference laboratory with less than 10 employees. We soon discovered that the needs of our practitioners and our clients required us to implement mobile phlebotomy. Driven by an ageing population and feedback from our clients, we started our phlebotomy division which helped us to reach more clients and fulfil their needs. In 2014, as MLDC grew in size, we expanded our testing portfolio to introduce definitive toxicology testing to accommodate the needs of our clients.
