Target Pathology Laboratory has had an outstanding journey in the last 3 decades of its existence. It has evolved and grown in standards in that time as well. The journey started with Dr Peter M. Atkinson in 1993.Atkinson Pathology Laboratory was born out of Dr Atkinson’s entrepreneurial zeal to set up a pathology laboratory that will compete with the two main private laboratories in South Africa at that time. He wanted a laboratory that will eliminate the bureaucratic bottlenecks that burdened the main private laboratories.
