Home Blood Draw
Home Blood Draw
A home blood draw lets samples be taken for laboratory tests without the patient having to travel. A specialized nurse visits your home in Ioannina or across the wider Epirus region, performs the draw with aseptic technique, and ensures the samples are transported correctly to the partner laboratory.
