Paliwal Diagnostics vs Dr. Narayan Path Labs in Kanpur
A long-established Kanpur diagnostics group offering pathology and radiology, operating since 1997 from Pandu Nagar. Both labs are NABL accredited and both run round the clock, so accreditation is not the deciding factor here. The differences that are checkable are price transparency and CGHS: every one of our test rates is published on this site before you book, and we are CGHS empanelled at both our centres. We are also in Sarvodaya Nagar rather than Pandu Nagar, which matters if you are closer to the GSVM side of the city.
