- Comprehensive tests to be made available for patients with a focus on delivering accurate and precise results quickly for even the most complex testing needs
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 includes faster, more reliable results supporting swifter patient recoveries.
Union71 will initially be responsible for delivering diagnostic services to Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) through a comprehensive test repertoire and lab services. This will provide an opportunity to leverage economies of scale from the high volume of tests the lab company will perform for SEHA’s hospitals and clinics.
Union71 will offer a wide spectrum of testing services, with the long-term aim of supporting clinical workflow through timely, accurate and quality data building upon ISO15189 and CAP standards. 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.
