SIGMA has announced that it would be offering HbA1c testing throughout its Amcal Pharmacy network from Jul this year.
The national rollout follows the completion of a successful pilot program that saw more than 200 patients complete the HbA1c test with close to 50% of patients referred to their GP for further testing, a Sigma spokesperson said.
