The GDN, launched by U.S-based Quest Diagnostics, brings together leaders in diagnostics information services to share expertise and drive innovation
[South Korea], October 10, 2018 – GC Labs, the leading clinical laboratory in South Korea, announced today that it is a founding member of the newly formed Global Diagnostics Network (GDN). Launched today by U.S.-based Quest Diagnostics, the GDN is a strategic working group of diagnostic laboratories, each committed to unleashing and sharing local innovation to increase global access to diagnostic science, information, and services - ultimately generating diagnostic insights and improving global healthcare.
Collectively, this worldwide community of healthcare leaders has a presence in countries with more than half of the world’s population across all continents. In addition to Quest Diagnostics and GC Labs, GDN charter members are Al Borg Medical Laboratories, Dasa, KingMed Diagnostics, Primary Health Care, and SYNLAB.
“By joining the GDN, we are looking forward to the capability and professionalism gained through the network. We hope this could initiate for us mutual development of opportunities in the future”, says Lee, Eun Hee, MD., Ph.D., President of GC Labs.
GDN initiatives will benefit patients, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical innovators, government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academic institutions. Starting priority areas of focus include a global launch platform for high quality companion diagnostics, and the creation of an emerging pathogen preparedness network to expedite infectious disease research and response. Additional initiatives will be rolled out based on regional and global priorities.
“The GDN collaboration will open up new opportunities to expedite innovation by removing silos around unique knowledge and resources,” commented Carrie Eglinton Manner, Senior Vice President, Advanced Diagnostics, Quest Diagnostics. “We see this as a pragmatic approach to driving growth and excellence for all network members, while providing customers global access to innovations in diagnostics science and service delivery.”
