Thyrocare expands Northern India presence with Polo Labs acquisition

Diagnostics company Thyrocare has acquired the pathology business of Polo Labs to strengthen its foothold in Northern India. The PharmEasy-owned diagnostics platform said that the acquisition will boost its reach in Northern India.

This move will lead to Thyrocare integrating Polo Labs' 14 laboratories spread across Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh into its existing network.

By combining Polo Labs' network with Thyrocare's infrastructure, the company expects to deliver faster turnaround times, increased convenience for patients, and a wider range of diagnostic services.

Polo Labs' strong regional presence and expertise will be a valuable asset to Thyrocare, allowing them to expand their reach and better serve patients in Northern India. The acquisition aligns with Thyrocare's plan to enhance diagnostic capabilities and offer improved services across the country.

Together, we will continue to provide exceptional diagnostic services to a broader client base."

“As the company continues to expand its reach and capabilities, it remains dedicated to providing top-notch diagnostic services to communities across India,” Thyrocare stated in its press release.
