Our Story

A Journey of 30+ Years in Diagnostic Care

With a legacy spanning over 30 years, Sanket Diagnostics began its journey in Bharuch, Gujarat, with a simple vision – to make high-quality diagnostics accessible, reliable, and rooted in care.

Founded in 1992 by Mr. Salim Patel, Sanket quickly earned the trust of patients and healthcare professionals across India. What started as a community-based diagnostic centre has today grown into a globally supported diagnostic hub, offering more than 2000 pathology tests across Hematology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Histopathology, Immunoassays, and Infectious Disease diagnostics.

Driven by innovation and guided by compassion, Sanket expanded into Zambia in 2012, establishing Sanket Diagnostics (Z) Ltd in Lusaka. Backed by a team of international experts and its global headquarters in India, Sanket Zambia offers specialty and sub-specialty diagnostic services to hospitals, clinics, corporates, and individuals alike.

Today, Sanket stands proud as one of Zambia’s most trusted diagnostic networks – NHIMA-accredited, and partnered with both public and private hospitals across the country. With 19 centres across Zambia and growing, Sanket is also the diagnostic partner of Sanket–Sunol, one of the leading imaging facilities in the region.

Having served over 1 million patients globally, our journey is defined not just by numbers, but by our commitment to accuracy, empathy, and excellence in diagnostics.
