Point-of-Care Testing in Saudi Arabia

Fast and Reliable Diagnostics Wherever Patients Need It Most

Point-of-Care Testing in Saudi Arabia has become a vital component of modern healthcare — enabling fast, actionable results at the patient’s bedside, in emergency rooms, clinics, and even in remote or mobile medical units.

As a national leader in healthcare solutions, Samir Group brings the most advanced POCT platforms to Saudi institutions. Through our partnership with Boditech Med Inc., we offer a suite of compact immunoassay analyzers that deliver lab-quality results wherever they’re needed — with no compromise on accuracy or reliability.


Why POCT Is Essential in Today’s Saudi Healthcare System

The Kingdom’s healthcare system is evolving rapidly. From mega-hospitals in Riyadh to mobile health units in Makkah and Tabuk, POCT helps:

  • Shorten turnaround times
  • Enable quick treatment decisions
  • Improve rural and remote access to testing
  • Reduce ER congestion and lab overload

Especially during Hajj, accident response, or pandemic containment, having rapid diagnostics on the front lines can save lives.
