About Dhruv Diagnostics

30+ Years Experience

Our Story

Advanced Diagnostic Centre Since 1993

Dhruv Diagnostics was founded in Nagpur in 1993 with a single conviction: that patients in Central India deserve the same quality of diagnostic medicine available in the country's largest hospitals.

Thirty years later, that conviction is reflected in every report we issue. We are NABL-accredited, equipped with automated platforms used in reference laboratories globally, and led by pathologists with post-doctoral training from institutions including MD Anderson Cancer Centre, Harvard Medical School, and AIIMS New Delhi.

We were the first molecular diagnostic laboratory in Central India. We have supported over 400 organ transplant procedures. We have participated in NIH-funded research. And we do all of this from two laboratories in Nagpur — because world-class diagnostics should not require a flight to Mumbai or Delhi.

What Our Patients Say

"When my husband needed a kidney transplant, the HLA typing and donor antibody testing had to be right. There was no room for error. The Dhruv team coordinated with our nephrologist and delivered every report on time. We'll always be grateful."
