Where to go for tb skin test?

My employer requires all new hires to get a TB skin test. I need to get this done for my joining formalities next week. Where is a reliable place in my city to get a TB skin test?

I totally get it, sometimes you just need a quick test done. For a TB skin test (Mantoux test), you can go to almost any general physician's clinic or a local diagnostic laboratory. It's a very common test, so it's widely available. Just make sure to go back after 48-72 hours to get it read properly.

For a TB skin test, you don't need a super specialized place. Any general practitioner's clinic or a local diagnostic lab should be able to do it. It's a quick and simple procedure. Just like how we track our macros, make sure to follow up with the doctor for the reading.

Oh, a TB skin test! It's one of those things I'd probably overthink. But actually, it's quite simple. You can get it done at most doctor's clinics or even government health centers. Just remember you need to go back in a couple of days to get the result checked. Don't forget that part!

Bhaiyya, TB ka skin test toh chote clinic mein bhi ho jaata hai. Jo apne ghar ke paas doctor baithte hain na, unke paas jaao. Woh laga denge injection aur bata denge kab dobara aana hai dekhne. Fikr mat karo, bahut aasan test hai.

For a TB skin test, a general physician or a good diagnostic lab is usually sufficient. It's a common test. Just make sure whoever administers it is qualified, and more importantly, that you return for the reading after 48-72 hours. My doctor always says to be clear about follow-up appointments.
