National Reference Laboratory
NRL offers a comprehensive menu of tests, expanded in response to the needs of the region and providing a complete solution for all clinical testing needs in an efficient and high-quality environment. Of the 7.5+ million tests performed annually, 98% are done in house, allowing for greater quality control and reducing both turnaround time and logistics-related costs compared with other referral laboratories.
Through its commitment to a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS), investment in state-of-the-art technologies, superior connectivity solutions, advanced logistical systems and the appointment of highly skilled professionals, NRL has maintained its position as a trusted resource for healthcare providers and patients in the region.
The NRL network’s laboratories regularly undergo rigorous internal audits as well as independent inspections by various bodies such as the College of American Pathologists (CAP), ISO 15189, ISO 22870, Joint Commission International (JCI), and the American Association of Blood Banks. As NRL is committed to improving quality standards across the region, it also organizes CME-accredited CAP preparedness workshops for pathologists in the UAE each year.

The growing network of National Reference Laboratory facilities serves a wide range of local and regional clients, including government hospitals, teaching hospitals, research centers, privately-owned hospitals, medical centers, clinics, occupational health organizations and other reference laboratories.
