With the motto “One Step Ahead”, the Department of Laboratory Medicine is a distinguished paraclinical medical science unit of National institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR). It starts its journey from the very beginning when NITOR (RIHD) was started just after liberation war. From the starting time to July-2019, it was located in north-west corner, ground floor of old building as Department of Pathology. On August-2019 as a separate entity, this Department was shifted to eastern side of 1st floor of new extension building as Department of Laboratory Medicine. Now, this department has 04 (four) separate laboratories – Biochemistry, Clinical Pathology, Microbiology and Histopathology laboratory. All laboratories are well-equipped with automated analyzers to produce quality reports. Lab wise analyzers and other instruments are-
| Lab | Type of instrument | Quantity |
| Clinical Pathology | Fully Automated Haematology Analyzer | 03 |

This department is playing a vital role in serving the patients and smooth operation of this hospital. This department operates from 8 am to 8 pm in week days. In near future department will offer 24 hour services. In addition, during crisis period (like Dengue outbreak, COVID-19 pandemic etc.) it played a crucial part in delivering quality services to the healthcare system by facilitating diagnosis and fulfilling the needs of the patients. We have skilled and qualified physicians and technologist who are delivering their duties with utmost sincerity.
The laboratories are fully centrally air conditioned, connected with hospital automation system and always observed by close circuit cameras. The Department of Laboratory Medicine, NITOR aims at becoming a state-of-the-art and a center of excellence of international standard in the field of medical laboratory diagnosis and is gradually thriving towards achieving its vision by tiny leaps.
