Strategic Report 01 Overview 02 03 04 Diagnostics In December 2018, we completed construction and opened Mega Laboratory (“Mega Lab”), the largest diagnostics laboratory in Georgia and the entire Caucasus region. Mega Lab isan important new business line for the Group.Mega Lab The multi-disciplinary laboratory, equipped with latest infrastructure and state-of-the-art equipment, covers 7,500 square metres. High-capacity automated systems enable GHG to provide accurate, high-quality results to the entire population of the country. In addition Basic tests performed to basic laboratory tests, the new laboratory allows us to offer complex tests for oncology at Mega Lab, include: and molecular lab, some of which have never been available in Georgia and for which blood samples used to be sent abroad. The launch is in line with our strategy to invest Biochemistry in and develop new medical services to keep filling existing service gaps in the country, Haematology supporting the market’s continuing development and our service export strategy. Haemostasis Before opening Mega Lab, the most of the Group’s healthcare facilities had their own laboratory units. Currently, our high-tech laboratory collects samples from the Group’s Hormone testing hospitals and polyclinics throughout Georgia. The test results are distributed automatically Cardiac marker to each hospital and polyclinic within the Group, through the internal Laboratory Information Management System (“LIMS”), enabling us to be far more efficient and provide a reliable Tumour marker service to our patients. As the Group’s internal demand covers only one-third of the Immunology laboratory’s capacity, Mega Lab plans to develop a retail network and to work on additional external contracts, contracting and serving healthcare facilities outside the Group. PCR-parasitology The project is supported by our colleagues from Jordan, Biolab, a subsidiary of IDH Group, PCR-viruses who have several years of experience in this field. Biolab is the only laboratory in the Kingdom of Jordan that has received JCI accreditation as an independent laboratory, and will support Laboratory tests introduced Mega Lab to get the same accreditation over the next few years. They have conducted in the region for the first time, training and knowledge sharing for our personnel and have created an initial technical base. performed with the latest technologies, include: Electrophoresis Flow cytometry PCR-genetic PCR-microbiology c.50 Intend to develop retail blood collection points in coming years 17
