45 Years of Trust: The Story of Jariwala Laboratory

From a vision started in 1981 to a modern diagnostic network serving generations of families across Borivali, Kandivali and Dahisar

Healthcare has changed dramatically over the past four decades. Diagnostic technology has advanced, testing has become faster and more specialised, and patients today expect greater convenience and accessibility.

Yet, one thing remains just as important as it was decades ago — trust.

For Jariwala Laboratory, that trust began in 1981, when Dr. Harshad Jariwala established the laboratory with a passion for excellence and a vision to provide dependable laboratory services to the community.

Today, 45 years later, that vision continues to guide Jariwala Laboratory.

A Vision That Began in 1981

The story of Jariwala Laboratory is closely connected with the vision of its founder, Dr. Harshad Jariwala.

With his background in pathology and microbiology, Dr. Jariwala recognised the importance of accurate laboratory investigations in helping doctors make informed clinical decisions. He established Jariwala Laboratory in 1981 with a commitment to quality laboratory medicine and patient care.

What began as a vision has grown over the years into a diagnostic network serving families across Borivali, Kandivali and Dahisar.

The journey has never simply been about performing more tests. It has been about continually improving the quality, technology and accessibility of diagnostic healthcare.

45 Years of Experience — And a Commitment That Has Remained the Same

A laboratory may have the latest machines and advanced technology, but diagnostics ultimately depend on much more than equipment.

It requires:

• Experienced medical professionals
• Skilled laboratory technicians
• Careful sample collection
• Proper sample handling
• Quality control
• Reliable laboratory processes
• Appropriate technology
• Attention to detail
• Timely reporting
• And, above all, a commitment to patients

Over 45 years, Jariwala Laboratory has continued to evolve while keeping these principles at the centre of its work.

From Traditional Laboratory Testing to Modern Diagnostics

The world of diagnostics today is very different from what it was in 1981.

Jariwala Laboratory has evolved alongside these changes, expanding beyond routine pathology to offer a broad range of diagnostic services.

Today, its services extend across areas such as:

Pathology • Microbiology • Molecular Testing • Cancer Screening • Hormone & Immunoassay Testing • Digital X-Ray • Ultrasonography • ECG • Colour Doppler • 2-D Echo

This evolution reflects an important philosophy — patients should have access to comprehensive diagnostic services while maintaining a strong focus on quality and reliability.

Technology Meets Experience

Modern diagnostic medicine depends heavily on technology.

Jariwala Laboratory has invested in new-generation diagnostic platforms and currently operates with more than 50 instrument platforms across different areas of testing.

But technology is only one part of the equation.

The real strength comes from combining modern equipment with experienced professionals, established laboratory processes and quality-focused practices.

It is this combination of experience + technology + people + quality that forms the foundation of modern diagnostics at Jariwala.

Quality Is More Than a Promise

When a patient gives a sample for testing, the final report can become an important part of their healthcare journey.

Doctors may use diagnostic results to investigate symptoms, monitor an existing condition, evaluate treatment or make further clinical decisions.

That is why quality cannot be an afterthought.

Jariwala Laboratory follows structured quality practices and states that its laboratory operates within the ISO 15189:2022 framework, along with participation in Internal and External Quality Assurance programmes.

For patients, these systems represent something simple:

A commitment to doing things carefully, consistently and responsibly.

Diagnostics That Fit Into Modern Life

Healthcare is no longer limited to visiting a laboratory during working hours.

People are busy. Senior citizens may find travel difficult. Families may have young children at home. Patients recovering from illness may prefer not to travel unnecessarily.

Recognising these needs, Jariwala Laboratory provides home sample collection, allowing patients to arrange collection of samples such as blood, urine and stool from the comfort of their home.

The process is designed to make diagnostics more convenient while maintaining appropriate sample collection and laboratory procedures.

Your Reports, Your Convenience

Once testing is completed, patients should be able to access their reports conveniently.

Jariwala Laboratory provides options for accessing reports digitally, including online report access and email delivery.

For many patients, this means there is no need to make an additional trip simply to collect a report.

It also makes it easier to share diagnostic reports with family members or treating doctors when required.

Serving Borivali, Kandivali and Dahisar

Over the years, Jariwala Laboratory has expanded its presence across Borivali, Kandivali and Dahisar, bringing diagnostic services closer to the communities it serves.

For a local family, accessibility matters.

A diagnostic centre should not only provide testing — it should be a place where patients know they can return when they need reliable diagnostic support.

From routine blood investigations to specialised testing and imaging services, Jariwala’s network is designed to serve a wide range of diagnostic requirements.

When Every Minute Matters

Healthcare emergencies do not follow a timetable.

Jariwala Laboratory also provides emergency diagnostic support, with services available around the clock at designated facilities.

Behind an emergency report is a team of professionals working when most people are asleep — handling samples, processing investigations and supporting doctors and patients when timely diagnostics matter most.

This dedication is an important part of the Jariwala story.

The Next Generation Carries the Legacy Forward

A legacy is not simply something inherited.

It is something that has to be carried forward.

Today, the next generation of the Jariwala family continues to contribute to the laboratory’s journey.

Dr. Pratik Jariwala and Vinita Jariwala represent the continuation of a family legacy built over decades — carrying forward the values established by Dr. Harshad Jariwala while embracing the changing needs of modern healthcare.

The goal remains the same:

To strive for excellence, embrace progress and continue earning the trust of every patient who walks through the doors of Jariwala Laboratory.

Behind Every Report Is a Dedicated Team

A diagnostic report may appear to be a simple document.

Behind it, however, is a chain of people and processes.

From the moment a patient arrives or a home collection professional collects a sample, multiple members of the Jariwala team contribute to the journey.

Reception teams, phlebotomists, technicians, laboratory professionals, doctors, administrative staff and emergency personnel all play their part.

Their work often happens quietly, away from the patient’s view.

But their dedication is an essential part of every report that reaches a patient.

45 Years Later, The Journey Continues

From 1981 to 2026, Jariwala Laboratory has witnessed enormous changes in medicine, technology and the way people access healthcare.

Yet the fundamental purpose remains unchanged.

To provide diagnostic services with experience, technology, quality and care.

For 45 years, generations of patients and families across Western Mumbai have been part of this journey.

And as Jariwala Laboratory looks towards the future, the commitment remains stronger than ever:

To continue striving for excellence in diagnostics and to remain a trusted part of the healthcare journey of the communities it serves.
