Dubai Medical Laboratory use MEDLAB at Arab Health 2002 to accelerate
their expansion plans

As medical facilities come under increasing pressure to expand the
number and type of test profiles performed as well as reducing costs,
the outsourcing of some laboratory services is growing. Dubai
Medical Laboratory (DML) is one such company who are benefiting from
this trend.

Established in 1982 DML is the first ever private laboratory
providing support to over 300 clinics and medical institutions
throughout the UAE. With a fully equipped facility currently worth
over $2 million, DML runs over 300 tests a day offering a full range
of computerized services that are fast and highly accurate.

DML first exhibited at Arab Health in 2001 using the exhibition as a
launchpad for their services. As a result of their participation they
have since witnessed a substantial growth in the reach of their
market penetration, which now includes Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. Their
decision to participate in the MEDLAB element of Arab Health 2002,
being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 26th to the 29th
January 2002 is to build upon this growth and further increase their
client list.

Setting the standards for clinical laboratories in the UAE, DML is
now pioneering the first ever online facility by which Doctors can
access results of tests 24 hours a day. "Although we are currently in
the planning stages at this point, we hope to be able to provide
Doctors with the resources to access all of their test results
through our website" said Mohammed Taiseer Al Babbili, Medical Lab
Representative, Dubai Medical Laboratory.
"The DML website is currently offering a comprehensive round up of
all the tests we perform which is a valuable resource for medical
institutions throughout the Middle East. We wanted to develop this
site to expand on our customer delivery by having password protected
access available to Doctors. This way the patient benefits as the
results are available 24 hours a day thus facilitating a faster
delivery" DML has confirmed that it views the forthcoming MEDLAB
element of the forthcoming Arab Health 2002 exhibition, as the ideal
platform from which to demonstrate this new online facility to the
regions leading healthcare professionals.

"With so many different nationalities living in this region we find
that there are so many different diseases and ailments as well as the
perpetual new test requirements and investigations" said Al
Babbili "For example, in recent months we have seen an increase in
the number of thalassemia tests being carried out as a result of
government initiative to promote awareness of this disease" said Al
Babbili. "In addition Doctors are requesting more tests for
osteoporosis and hormone related issues as they strive to keep
abreast of the continually increasing number of new diseases"

Dubai Medical Laboratory is also working on expansion plans for an
additional Laboratory that will deal specifically with highly
specialized test such as AIDS, HIV and Hepatitis. This laboratory is
expected to be completed by the end of the year. Meanwhile, that DML
has recently invested in a new area, that of allergies which now
provides a full allergy programme that gives fast and accurate
results for a number of tests. To find out more about DML and other
