Hospitals need equipment and specialist staff to offer advanced diagnostic tests, but may not see enough patients to cover those costs. A new partnership between The Pathology Network and Cerba Lancet Kenya shows how digital platforms can help hospitals offer more tests by connecting them to laboratories already providing those services.
Instead of buying equipment and employing specialists for tests it rarely performs, a hospital can send samples to a partner laboratory and pay for testing. It can expand the services available to patients without taking on the full cost of running them.
The partnership expands testing available through Spes360. The platform lets hospitals order tests and track samples. It also makes it easier to open new hospitals because labs and lab experts can be outsourced.
