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.
