Refund & Cancellation Policy
Diagnostic Bookings & Health Store Returns
Fair & Transparent Refunds: We strive to provide transparent policies for diagnostic sample collections, laboratory procedures, and health store items.
Effective: September 2026 • Alfalah Diagnostic Labs
1. Diagnostic Test Bookings & Home Phlebotomy
We understand medical plans can change. Cancellations for lab tests and home sampling are governed by the following timelines:
- Full Refund (100%): When cancellation is requested prior to the dispatch of our mobile phlebotomist from our central facility.
- Phlebotomist In-Transit: If our phlebotomist has already departed for your collection address, a nominal travel fee (PKR 300) will be deducted, and the full test fee balance will be refunded.
- Post-Collection & Processing (Non-Refundable): Once the biological sample (blood, urine, swab, tissue) has been successfully drawn and received at our diagnostic analyzers, chemical reagents are expended and reports are scheduled. At this point, the fee becomes completely non-refundable.
2. Health Store & E-Commerce Returns
For products purchased through our online Health Store:
- Order Cancellation: You can cancel any product order free of charge before it is dispatched for delivery.
- 7-Day Return Window: Physical wellness products, medical devices, and unopened healthcare items may be returned within 7 calendar days of delivery if they are defective, damaged in transit, or incorrect.
- Condition for Return: Returned items must be in their original packaging, unopened, with intact manufacturer tamper seals and the original sales receipt.
3. Non-Returnable & Non-Refundable Items
In accordance with pharmaceutical safety standards and infection control regulations, the following items cannot be returned or refunded:
- Temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, vaccines, or refrigerated biologicals once delivered.

- Personal hygiene items, surgical masks, sterilized syringes, and opened wound dressings.
4. Refund Method & Turnaround Time
