The Mega Lab serves as the operational hub of Al Mokhtabar’s nationwide network, which comprises more than 460 branches and provides services to approximately five million patients annually through laboratory facilities and home visits.
The plan includes upgrading digital infrastructure and improving the speed, reliability and quality of communication networks that support remote consultations.
The partnership comes as Egypt seeks to attract more patients from Arab and African markets by capitalising on its healthcare advantages.
The ministry and Samsung is exploring plans to establish a state-of-the-art training facility equipped with advanced technologies that can support the practical training of healthcare professionals.
The new system increases the Mega Lab’s haematology testing capacity to more than 1,000 tests per hour while reducing manual handling throughout the testing workflow.
The healthcare package forms part of a broader set of cooperation agreements covering education, green industry, vocational training, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The agreement was formalized by Ali El Ghamrawy, Chairperson of the Egyptian Drug Authority, and James Peter Komie, Chairperson of the Pharmacy Board of Sierra Leone, in the presence of Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to Egypt, Sadiq Sillah.
Under the agreement, Tanmeyah will provide tailored financing solutions for healthcare providers, particularly small and medium-sized facilities that often face constraints in investing in digital infrastructure.
Through the collaboration, the two companies aim to help healthcare providers improve efficiency, streamline operations, and enhance the quality of care delivered to patients.
