New tests in neurology
We are proud in the �First Medical Lab� to launch our �Neurology Testing Center� to be the first in the middle east specialized in testing different neurological diseases that affect our population. These tests will help the clinician in the diagnosis of different types of neuropathies, muscle diseases, dementia, blindness and deafness
