KFSHRC Inaugurates MENA’s Most Advanced Hematology Diagnostics Laboratory

‏Riyadh, December 19, 2024, SPA -- The King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) has inaugurated, under the patronage of Deputy CEO Dr. Björn Zoéga, the Advanced Hematology Diagnostics Laboratory, the first cutting-edge facility in the MENA region to house the largest and fastest automated hematology track.
   Equipped with a bulk loader for faster and more efficient testing and a much-improved AI-driven image analysis system, the state-of-the-art laboratory is aimed at elevating hematology diagnostics in the KFSHRC.
   ‏The laboratory integrates advanced processing systems, including pre-analytical workflow and high resolution multiparametric flow cytometry analyzers, enhancing efficiency and reducing output time, which marks a significant step towards the next generation of high precision cellular analysis tests.
   ‏Already home to the largest clinical flow cytometry facility in Saudi Arabia with 9,000 flow tests per year, the laboratory offers timely and highly accurate diagnostic services for a wide range of hematolymphoid and immunological disorders.
   ‏Beyond its diagnostic capabilities, the new advanced laboratory will be involved in innovation and education. It will serve as a unique hub for clinical research by providing hands-on training opportunities and observational visits, support advanced research initiatives, host workshops, and foster collaborations with leading technology providers.
