When it comes to medical diagnostics, patients often face the choice: go to a laboratory branch or arrange for tests to be done at home. At SaludyVos, our vision is to bring convenience, reliability, and care to your doorstep. In this post, we will compare Diagnostic Maipú with SaludyVos, explore what home vs in‑lab sampling really means, and help you decide which option is best for your health needs.
About Diagnostic Maipú
Diagnostic Maipú is a prominent diagnostic center in Buenos Aires, offering a broad spectrum of services including laboratory analyses and imaging modalities. Their network spans multiple neighborhoods (Recoletta, Palermo, San Isidro, Pilar, Parque Patricios, and more) and they operate with a “Laboratorio en Fundación Hospitalaria” model. One of their flagship branches is the Cabildo unit, which occupies about 3,000 m² over four levels and is designed to handle up to 20,000 patients per month. Maipú also offers “sin turno” lab services in many of its branches, meaning patients can walk in for sample collection without necessarily needing a prior appointment.
Before we dive into the advantages of home sample collection, it’s worth pausing to see how a traditional lab like Diagnostic Maipú operates day to day. Most patients who walk into their branches benefit from established infrastructure, experienced staff, and immediate access to on‑site support and equipment. But even in this familiar model, there are trade‑offs in convenience, scheduling, and patient comfort. With that in mind, let’s explore precisely why bringing sampling into your home can change your healthcare experience.
Why Home Sample Collection Matters
Home sample collection (i.e. a phlebotomist coming to your location) is more than a novelty — for many people, it’s a game changer. For someone with mobility limitations, chronic conditions, tight schedules, or reluctance to sit in waiting rooms, home sampling means medical testing without the headache of travel. It reduces stress, minimizes viral or infectious exposure (especially important now), and lets patients remain comfortable in familiar surroundings. Many skip or postpone necessary lab work simply because getting to the lab is inconvenient — home sampling can improve adherence and timely diagnosis.
Home Sample Collection with SaludyVos
At SaludyVos, home sample collection is a core pillar of our service. We believe patients should not have to rearrange life just to get a blood test done. Instead of asking you to fit into a lab’s schedule, SaludyVos fits into yours.

By partnering with certified laboratories, we bring the same quality standards you expect from brick-and-mortar clinics, delivered right to your door.
Your Health, Your Home, Your Schedule
For many, Diagnostic Maipú remains a solid option for in-person lab work, especially when bundled with imaging or in cases where proximity to their branches is ideal. But for those who value comfort, speed, and flexibility, SaludyVos is a modern alternative that brings healthcare in line with how we live today.
So whether you’re a busy professional, a caregiver for an elderly parent, or simply someone who prefers not to wait in long queues — SaludyVos makes it easier to stay on top of your health without leaving home.
