Background

Lancet Clinical Laboratories was established in 2010 with the aim of providing medical laboratory, consultative, and referral services. The services offered include but are not limited to routine, specialised and advanced tests for clinical research, screening, industrial, environmental and occupational health.[1]

In Zimbabwe Lancet has 7 laboratories situated in Bindura, Bulawayo, Chitungwiza, Kwekwe, Marondera, Masvingo, and Mutare.[2]

COVID-19 Testing

Lancet was one of the major COVID-19 testing laboratories in Zimbabwe. In January 2021, Lancet CEO, Dr. Charles Muronda said that the company was doing about two-thirds of all the tests in Zimbabwe.

Muronda also said that the company's COVID-19 test materials are supplied by United States based Biomeme US in Zimbabwe. Biomeme representative in Zimbabwe, Gift Govah confirmed this.

Allegations of employee corruption in offering negative results

In January 2021, a Lancet customer alleged that a Lancet employee had offered to provide negative results after the customer had received positive COVID-19 test results from the company.[3]

Lancet CEO, Muronda promised to investigate the matter. He however also said that there were independent touts operating outside Lancet premises that offer fake test results to clients walking out of the company's laboratories. He said the company did not have the resources to deal with the touts.
