EtioLabs
What We Do & Why We Do It
EtioLabs are a new private diagnostics laboratory, based in Dublin and headquartered in Westmeath, Ireland. We were founded in September 2024 in response to the testing backlog in Ireland caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
EtioLabs is primed to revolutionise the Irish healthcare industry through comprehensive, timely, and affordable testing solutions, driving down costs, wait times and improving outcomes for all.
Benjamin Franklin said in 1736, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and this proverb is as relevant today as ever. In Ireland, where timely access to healthcare is often challenged by long waiting lists, disease prevention isn’t just a principle — it’s a necessity.
At EtioLabs, we live by the principle that behind every test result is a life, a family, and a future depending on our accuracy and every hour saved is a life improved. Faster testing means earlier action. Earlier action means better outcomes. And better outcomes mean stronger, healthier communities, not just here in Ireland, but across the world.
Our Vision. Mission and Values:
At EtioLabs our vision is to revolutionise healthcare testing services in Ireland. We are committed to offering efficient, reliable, and cutting-edge testing solutions that cater to the unique needs of healthcare providers and patients. Our mission is to become the leading private testing laboratory in Ireland, to be an integral partner in the Irish healthcare landscape, contributing to improved diagnostics, timely treatment, and overall healthcare outcomes.
What’s in a Name?
The name Etio comes from the origin ‘Etiology’ which refers to the ‘cause or origin of a disease or a condition’. In a broader context, etiology can also refer to the study of causes in general — not just for diseases, but also for behaviors or events. We chose the name Etio because we want to position ourselves as a healthcare brand that gets to the root of medical & health problems, finds the cause and enables patients, insofar as is possible, to fix them. We believe that the path to great health is through patient advocacy, disease monitoring, and ongoing access to world-class advice and support. All illness has a root cause that must be identified. We don’t believe in sticking plasters on chronic disease, rather in the identification of markers and red flags well before symptoms manifest.
