The launch took place on the 24th April, 2014 attended by over 100 guests. The laboratory, which is located at Al Barsha, Dubai, will be able to offer a comprehensive list of tests routinely assessed and interpreted by the lab's Pathologist. The set up of this lab would allow cost effectiveness by significantly reducing international send outs and achieve shorter turnaround time.
Dr. Rajesh Menon, Chief Operating Officer, Eastern Clinical Laboratories, UAE said, "Eastern Clinical Laboratories has opened in par with the Dubai Health Authority's regulations in handling all samples through a laboratory. The opening of the laboratory has also allowed us to maintain optimum quality of the sample without the need for repeat samples".
"As part of the Eastern group of companies, we are proud to have achieved this milestone as the company was built on a vision to be the leading providers of predictive and preventive healthcare services".
The lab will allow the physician the option to utilize a unique technological system whereby the doctor can directly order medical tests for their patients from their computer or mobile phones. The online portal was intended to allow for radical decrease in report delivery time by eliminating paperwork.
The launch of the lab was followed by a seminar on the clinical significance of food intolerance and food allergy in modern lifestyle. Catherine Dawes, Nutritional Consultant, Eastern Biotech, UAE said, "Most people get confused between food intolerance and food allergy. Food allergy is related to the immune system while food intolerance is a delayed digestive system reaction. Food intolerance is a debilitating ailment which affects over 45% of the population. Symptoms can include gastrointestinal complaints, migraine, fatigue, anxiety etc".
Food intolerance testing conducted by Eastern Biotech tests 200+ foods at one time, and also measures the degree of reactions.
Dr. Shahid Abbas, Consultant Allergy & Immunology, Allergy Clinic, UAE said, "Food allergy is genetically transmitted. If one parent is allergic, there is a 50% chance of their offspring being affected by some type of allergy. Allergy tests must be conducted to eliminate the substances and hence prevent complications".
More than 100 Gastroenterologists, Dietitians and General Physicians from various private and Governmental hospitals in UAE participated in the CME accredited event at Towers Rotana Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road. Not only screening and diagnosis but also management of food intolerance and allergy were discussed by eminent speakers. Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences organized the seminar in support with Eastern Clinical Laboratories.
