The CEO of BGI Group, Dr. Yin Ye, said, "The pandemic has posed a tremendous challenge to human society. However, some might also develop true friendship through their shared experiences. In 2020, BGI assisted the Saudi Ministry of Health to establish five 'Huo-Yan' laboratories across the Kingdom within two months, and completed more than 18 million PCR tests in the past two years. We believe that by working together, we can apply the most advanced genetic technology to benefit the health of the people, not only in Saudi Arabia but also in the Middle East in the long term. I am convinced that we will achieve this goal together."
The CEO of BGI Genomics, Mr. Zhao Lijian said, "With the advantages of both parties, I believe that SAMLL will become the most advanced and competitive independent clinical laboratory, which will better serve the patients and clients, maintain the highest quality standards, continuously introduce new clinical testing services and medical technology to the Kingdom Healthcare Sector."
