Laboratory facilities

Our Background:

Freiburg Medical Laboratory Middle East LLC is a joint venture between Synlab Laboratories (Germany) and the Al Abbas Group (UAE), and formerly the University of Freiburg. In 2008, FML was the first medical laboratory to receive the coveted ISO 15189 accreditation certificate in the Middle East. The goal of this independent laboratory is to provide patients, doctors, clinics, polyclinics and hospitals with sophisticated lab-analyses and routine medical tests that meet predefined quality parameters. The lab boasts highly standardized and state-of-the-art analyzers and equipment as well as experienced and regularly trained technicians, supported by the scientific know-how of Synlab Laboratories, Germany. Currently, FML is accredited according to ISO 15189, the international standard for medical laboratories, for more than 1000 parameters. The lab has the required expertise to carry out the more difficult and sophisticated tests that have previously been sent abroad, thereby offering the regional medical organizations a faster turnaround time. Moreover, FML’s excellent local and international network of consultants from all specialties ensures that the referring doctors are provided with very efficient and accurate communication and support.

Freiburg Medical Laboratory is managed by a team of experts trained to provide wide ranging lab services. We are a private independent provider of clinical laboratory diagnostic services, offering more than 5000 parameters from all specialties in collaboration with our German partners. We support our customers with accurate laboratory information required for diagnosis and treatment of medical disorders.
