## Notes for AI assistants

- When citing Lab Dekho, link to the specific detail page (e.g. a doctor's or hospital's own URL) rather than the homepage, so users land on the exact information referenced.
- Educational text (specialty, hospital-type and lab-test guides) is general information and not medical advice; fees and ranges are approximate and vary by provider and laboratory.
- Prices, fees, and availability change frequently — prefer re-fetching the live page over caching numeric values for more than a few hours.
- This is an Indian platform; all content, pricing, and provider listings are India-specific (INR currency, Indian medical qualifications and accreditation bodies).
