King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) has inaugurated its Advanced Haematology Diagnostics Laboratory, enhancing its diagnostic capabilities in haematology.

The new facility, launched under the leadership of Deputy CEO Dr. Björn Zoéga, is the first in the MENA region to feature the largest and fastest automated haematology track. This advanced system includes a bulk loader for rapid testing and an AI-powered image analysis system, significantly improving efficiency and precision.

The laboratory integrates advanced processing technologies, such as pre-analytical workflows and high-resolution multiparametric flow cytometry analysers. These enhancements streamline operations, reduce turnaround times, and enable the delivery of high-precision cellular analysis.

Already recognised as the largest clinical flow cytometry facility in Saudi Arabia, the laboratory conducts 9,000 flow cytometry tests annually. It provides accurate and timely diagnostic services for a wide range of haematolymphoid and immunological disorders.

In addition to its diagnostic functions, the facility is set to play a pivotal role in innovation and education. It will serve as a hub for clinical research by offering hands-on training, observational visits, and support for advanced research projects. The laboratory will also host workshops and foster collaborations with leading technology providers to advance medical research and practice.

KFSHRC has earned significant recognition for its excellence. It has been ranked first in the Middle East and Africa and 20th globally in the list of the world’s top 250 Academic Medical Centres for the second consecutive year. It has also been acknowledged as the most valuable healthcare brand in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, according to the 2024 Brand Finance rankings.

Furthermore, KFSHRC has been included in the World’s Best Smart Hospitals list for 2025 and ranked among the world’s best 250 hospitals by Newsweek magazine.
