commitment to providing the highest level of patient care. More importantly, the goals of this
collaboration align seamlessly with our brand ethos of ‘Caring Like Family,’ and we are excited

to integrate these innovations into our processes.”

This partnership offers several key benefits. The MALDI-TOF device uses advanced technology
to quickly and accurately detect a wide range of pathogens, including those that are difficult to
culture, dramatically improving diagnostic accuracy and speed. By identifying the specific

microorganisms responsible for infections, MALDI-TOF ensures the selection of the most

effective antibiotics, mitigating the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics and combating
antibiotic resistance.

This partnership is expected to benefit more than 2 million patients annually, allowing the
healthcare provider to deliver quicker, more accurate diagnostics and enhance patient

outcomes. The agreement aims to streamline microbiology diagnostic processes, reducing
turnaround times and ensuring timely treatment for patients. With faster and more precise

diagnoses, the collaboration is set to elevate the overall healthcare experience, providing
significant advantages to both patients and healthcare providers.

Philippe Villard, Senior Director of Commercial Operations, EMEA at BD Company, stated: “We
are excited to collaborate with Saudi German Health on this innovative initiative. The rollout of

our advanced diagnostic solutions will significantly benefit healthcare providers by improving
diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Technologies like MALDI-TOF have demonstrated their

effectiveness in enhancing diagnostic outcomes in other regions, and we believe this
collaboration will yield similar results in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

The rapid diagnostic solutions introduced by BD and SGH are expected to become a model for

healthcare providers across the region. This partnership will usher in an era of faster, more
accurate diagnoses and improved patient care by refining diagnostic accuracy and streamlining
processes. This partnership will significantly enhance the social and economic value of the local

healthcare system, contributing to the overall well-being of the community.
