The UAE-based Pure Health, the GCC laboratory network of more than 117 UAE laboratories, has signed an agreement of BIOS Middle East, GCC’s leading cloud and managed service provider for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to host the core Laboratory Information System (LIS) for Pure Health on CloudHPT
CloudHPT is a cloud that is entirely owned and managed by BIOS. BIOS completely manages all servers, networking, storage, protection, and backups, ensuring Pure Health focuses only on the LIS application.
LIS operated by Purehealth is an automated platform that reads and collects patient data, resulting in minimal manual intervention and speeding up the screening process.
Purehealth IT has implemented several technologies to streamline operations and collaborate with government agencies in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Northern Emirates, including in its emergency response to the COVID-19 situation.
“BIOS Middle East is pleased to be the cloud partner of Pure Health. We look forward to working with Pure Health and supporting them with a clear, secure and simple path to the cloud,” said Dominic Docherty, managing director, BIOS Middle East.
“CloudHPT’s fixed pricing and comprehensive support make it easy for Pure Health to meet its strategic and business goals,” said Adnan Asif, chief technology officer at Pure Health.
At present, Pure Health has four UAE laboratories dedicated to COVID-19 research, in the capital Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. Accordingly, this is the “Middle East, Africa and South Asia’s largest COVID-19 testing capability” with the capacity to perform 80,000 tests daily.
“We have been collaborating with healthcare providers and authorities in this screening initiative across the nation since the beginning of the crises. Pure Health has been conducting COVID-19 tests in more than 15 collection centres and four processing locations in the UAE. We will soon increase our capacity,” said Adnan.
