\nThe Aga Khan University\u2019s Outreach Health Network, Roche Diagnostics and Sysmex have signed an agreement to install a new Fully Automated Laboratory system in the Main Lab and 14 outreach centers of the Aga Khan University Hospital across Pakistan.
\nConnected with Roche\u2019s cobas IT infinity solutions, these latest, state-of-the art high throughput automated systems are designed to give laboratories full and transparent control over their operational processes, whether at single or multi-site operations.
\nThrough this strategic collaboration between the Aga Khan University Hospital, Roche Diagnostics, and Sysmex, AKUH will be able to cater to the needs and enhance the capacity of its labs, not just in the main cities, but also in the remote areas of the country.
\nThis agreement builds on Aga Khan University Hospital\u2019s historic collaboration with Roche Diagnostics Pakistan. It also marks a significant milestone in evolving laboratory diagnostic workflows by increasing automation and minimizing operation intervention in clinical laboratories to reduce errors, improve efficiency and enable faster test results to the patients.
\nSpeaking at the ceremony, Dr. Sulaiman Shahabuddin, President AKU, congratulated and lauded the efforts of all the teams involved in achieving this milestone agreement. \u201cAll of us are playing an integral part in shaping the national health system,\u201d said Dr. Shahabuddin, adding that cross-collaboration between different stakeholders is key in scaling up and reshaping lives through the provision of quality healthcare.
\nWelcoming this new partnership with Roche Diagnostics and Sysmex, Shagufta Hassan, CFO and VP of Finance, AKU, expressed her gratitude and thanked all the stakeholders involved for all their hard work. Highlighting the high-quality standards of the Aga Khan University Hospital and its Outreach Health Network, she said, \u201cAKU is Pakistan\u2019s first academic medical centre to receive the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) and College of American Pathologists CAP accreditation. I am thankful to our teams working on the front lines, and providing access to quality healthcare to millions across Pakistan.\u201d
\nRecognizing the immense contribution of AKUH towards setting high quality standards of healthcare excellence, Abdul Qayyum, Country Manager, Roche Diagnostics Pakistan said, \u201cExpanding access to health services is an important step towards reducing health disparities. I must commend AKUH for their unwavering commitment to improve healthcare delivery where it truly matters most. I am proud of our long association with AKUH and look forward to jointly expanding testing capabilities beyond main cities to reach more patients across Pakistan. Together, we are truly embodying our shared vision of shaping healthcare and improving patient lives.\u201d
\n\u201cHealthcare excellence works with partners to spread innovations and build capability so that everyone has safe and high-quality health care. Together we are spreading innovations that equitably deliver care where people live and when they need it.\u201d shared Rizwan Feroz, Director S. Ejazuddin & Co., official distributors of Sysmex in Pakistan.
