The initial idea of forming the Colife Integrated Medical Laboratory was first formed in the Farjad Diagnostic and Therapeutic Group. This group has been operating for many years as one of the reputable and prominent brands in the field of health, diagnosis and medical treatment. Since the end of 2018, the founders of this complex decided to establish the Colife Integrated Medical Laboratory in order to improve laboratory services in the country, relying on the useful experiences gained and of course the capacities and opportunities ahead of medical services on the one hand and the serious gap between laboratory services in the country and global standards on the other. For this purpose, a team of laboratory and business development experts came together to design a new business model based on current world standards and launch the concept of integrated medical laboratories with the Colife brand. The study phase of this project lasted about 8 months, and after designing the business model, its implementation phase began in October 2019. In the implementation phase, a central and specialized laboratory has been equipped and launched, and negotiations are underway with other laboratories to join this group.

As an Iranian, when I am with friends, acquaintances, or business owners, one of the topics of discussion is often the cause of underdevelopment and the gap between our country and developed countries. In the meantime, we also discuss various internal and external factors. As an activist in the health sector, my many years of experience show that this path will not lead anywhere, and instead of constantly regretting this gap with the developed world and becoming hopeless and despairing, it is better to take practical action by trusting in God and relying on the capabilities of the youth of this country.

For example, this gap also exists in the field of health and medical services, and the performance of institutions in this field, despite numerous advances, is still far from developed countries. Therefore, we decided to create a different experience in providing medical services alongside concerned specialists. In this experience, we seek to combine worldly wisdom and maturity with youthful energy and creativity to create a correct and effective combination of these two forces in the creation of Colife. At Colife, we strive not to cross moral red lines and consider legality, financial transparency, trustworthiness, responsibility and integrity in our services as our core values. We value medical science and avoid black medicine in order to provide the best services.

Finally, while thanking you for your attention, since no system can improve without feedback, we are seriously looking forward to hearing and reading your criticisms and suggestions so that with your help, we can provide better and more services worthy of the dear people of our country.

Colife Mission Statement:

To provide innovative and up-to-date laboratory services with high speed and accuracy to all member laboratories of the Kolaev franchise network

Colife Vision:

To become the largest and highest quality laboratory in the MENA region

In recent years, the medical diagnostic laboratory industry in the world has made significant progress. One of the most important advances in this industry has been the integrated activity of laboratory centers under a brand and the focus of each of these centers on a specialized part of the laboratory processes. In this way, part of the entire process is carried out in different laboratory centers and the other part is carried out in specialized laboratories equipped with modern and automated equipment. This specialization of activities and their classification, while significantly reducing costs, has led to the optimization of the entire process in the laboratory.

Colife Integrated Medical Laboratories, aware of this issue and following the successful examples in the world and, of course, paying attention to the regulations issued by the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education, has implemented the franchise model (granting representation) in the country. In this model, various laboratories in the city, as a subsidiary of Colife and with a common brand, accept, sample and perform some of the tests, and another part of the samples will be transferred to the Colife central laboratory for specialized tests. This transfer is carried out at least three defined times a day and through the Colife cold logistics system, observing all the necessary standards in the transfer of samples, and they are transferred to the central laboratory (Colife ) under fully controlled conditions.

After being transferred to the central laboratory, the samples are accepted again and the necessary information is received through an integrated software system between the subsidiary laboratories and the central laboratory. Then the samples are examined and referred to different sections of the laboratory for testing. The tests are performed under the supervision of laboratory science specialists and with automated equipment, and the accuracy and validity of the results are continuously evaluated by the Colife laboratory quality control system. Finally, after all tests are performed - both in the central laboratory and in the subsidiary laboratory - and the answers are confirmed by the technical authorities, the test results are uploaded to the Colife website and notified to the subsidiary laboratories to be made available to their clients.
