Egyptian health tech set to save Saudi lives after recent acquisition

Saudi Arabia’s health care sector has gained a new entrant from Egypt aimed at addressing the challenges posed by delayed medical reports and improving patient outcomes. 

Founded in 2017, Rology has secured its position in the Saudi market after sealing the acquisition of its counterpart Arkan United. 

In an interview with Arab News, Amr Abodriaa, CEO and co-founder of Rology, expressed the significance of this move in establishing a leading position in the Saudi market. 

“This acquisition allows Rology to accelerate our mission of bringing the latest innovations in teleradiology to health care providers and patients in the Kingdom and beyond,” he said. 

“Rology has saved over 600,000 lives from Egypt to Kenya, through its one-of-a-kind solution. Rology’s acquisition of Arkan and the other local partnerships it is forging is evidence of the commitment the company has to the Kingdom,” Abodriaa added. 

The CEO has set a straightforward strategy for its expansion to the Kingdom: save as many lives as possible. 

“Rology primarily addresses the significant shortage of radiologists and the subsequent delay in diagnosis across our regions. We aim to alleviate the stress, anxiety, and detrimental health consequences that delayed medical reports can cause for patients,” Abodriaa said.
