(Amman, Jordan May 2020) – MedLabs Consultancy Group, one of the largest networks of
medical laboratories in the region accredited by the College of American
Pathologists (CAP) and ISO15189, and the only lab to have introduced a
fully-automated reference laboratory in the Kingdom covering all phases of the
testing process: pre-analytics, analytics, and post-analytics, now brings you
the Cobas PRO. Powered by Roche Diagnostics, this powerful diagnostic
innovation will further enable MedLabs to deliver high-quality patient results
in the shortest time possible and boost the capabilities of its operations
which is considered a reference site for its network of more than 50
laboratories in Jordan, Palestine and Iraq and over 150 referring laboratories in
Jordan, KSA, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Pakistan.
The greater efficiency of a fully connected and automated reference
laboratory holds the promise of better patient outcomes as it enables timely
clinical decisions upon receiving utmost accurate test results with speed,
safety and reliability. Moreover, the cutting-edge technologies of the Cobas
PRO newly-installed at MedLabs will also advance clinical decision-making
due to the breadth of the disease areas it covers including but not limited to;
infectious diseases, bone health, and fertility. Given the critical role diagnostics plays in
the overall healthcare chain, these investments will greatly improve the
journey of patient management and contribute to the reduction of the overall
cost of treatment.
