Comprehensive tests to be made with a focus on delivering accurate and precise results quickly
ADQ, one of the region’s largest holding companies with a broad portfolio of major enterprises spanning key sectors of Abu Dhabi’s diverse economy, has announced the launch of Union71, a new laboratory testing company for healthcare providers in the UAE.
The lab company aims to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce costs on both a national and regional basis by making high-quality testing and clinical support accessible. In addition, key benefits for patients include faster, more reliable results supporting swifter patient recoveries.
By separating the laboratory business from SEHA, Union71 will focus on delivering faster, lower cost and more accessible testing through a diagnostics-based approach for healthcare providers,” commented Jaap Kalkman, Chief Investment Officer, ADQ.
“We are confident that our new partner, Union71, will deliver the highest quality lab results quickly to help us ensure we are delivering world-class patient care,” remarked Dr Gareth Goodier, CEO, SEHA.
Union71 will have complex lab testing capabilities, sub-specialty consultant pathologists, experienced technologists and equipment not readily available in other labs in the region as well as the ability to ramp up quickly during emergency situations.
ADQ’s healthcare portfolio also includes Abu Dhabi Health Services Co. (SEHA), the UAE’s largest and most comprehensive healthcare network; National Health Insurance Company (Daman), the UAE’s leading health insurer; and Rafed, a new Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to manage and develop the procurement of healthcare-related products.
