LIS Software for UAE Laboratories — DHA, MOHAP & ISO 15189
A laboratory information system for DHA- and MOHAP-licensed facilities working to ISO 15189 — with the multi-branch operation a Gulf group actually runs on.
Who licenses a UAE laboratory
Licensing in the UAE is emirate-specific, so the first question is which authority your facility answers to — and ISO 15189 is the quality standard sitting behind them.
The Dubai Health Authority regulates healthcare practice within Dubai. MOHAP covers Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah.
In SamLab: Multi-branch operation under one organisation, with per-branch accounting and roll-up reporting for a group spanning emirates.
Clinical laboratories are expected to work to international standards, ISO 15189 among them, with ENAS and EIAC recognised as accreditation bodies in the UAE.
In SamLab: ISO 15189-ready report formats, IQC with Levey-Jennings, and barcoded specimen traceability.
Accreditation has been tied to reimbursement, which makes the documentation an operational requirement rather than a badge.
In SamLab: Audit logs, result revision history and consistent PDF reports, retained locally and backed up off site.

Runs when the internet doesn’t
Registration, billing, result entry and reports work with the connection down and sync when it returns. Prices are shown in your own currency.
Questions from United Arab Emirates laboratories
Which authority licenses our laboratory?
It depends on the emirate. The Dubai Health Authority regulates healthcare practice within Dubai, while MOHAP covers Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. A group operating across emirates deals with more than one, which is why SamLab runs multiple branches under a single organisation with per-branch accounting and roll-up reporting.
Does SamLab help with ISO 15189 accreditation in the UAE?
ENAS and EIAC are recognised accreditation bodies in the UAE, and clinical laboratories are expected to work to international standards including ISO 15189. SamLab supplies the operational records behind that: traceable barcoded specimens, IQC with Levey-Jennings, audit logs and consistent report formats, retained locally and backed up off site.
Can we be billed in AED?
Yes. Pricing on the international site resolves to your own currency, so a laboratory in the UAE sees AED rather than a converted figure it has to work out for itself. SamLab is sold internationally as a yearly subscription, with no separate maintenance contract.
