Rology, the market leader in teleradiology in the MENA region, has acquired Arkan United, a teleradiology provider based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
In order to address the global scarcity of radiologists, Amr AboDraiaa, Moaaz Hossam, Mahmoud Eldefrawy, and Bassam Khallaf founded Rology in October 2017.
Rology has developed a cloud-based platform that intelligently matches patients with distant radiologists.
Radiologists now have the freedom to work from anywhere in the world as long as they have access to a laptop and an internet connection thanks to the startup’s technology, which can be implemented with minimal setup expenses for hospitals as well as for radiologists.
“We’re excited to announce our acquisition of Arkan for medical services in Saudi Arabia. This acquisition allows us to accelerate our mission of bringing the latest innovations in teleradiology to healthcare providers and patients in the kingdom and beyond. By combining Rology’s cutting-edge technology and network with Arkan’s established expertise, we’re poised to revolutionize the field of teleradiology and improve patient care in unprecedented ways, according to Rology CEO Amr Abodriaa.
According to Tarik Baeshen, CEO of Arkan, “Rology had the people and the disruptive solution that the Saudi healthcare system truly needed.”
Baeshen continued, “I am proud of what Arkan has done for the healthcare landscape in the kingdom, and I am eager to see Rology take it one step further.”
Rology raised a pre-Series A round of funding in April to support its growth across the Middle East and Africa, and with the acquisition of Arkan United, it is now moving into Saudi Arabia, which has the largest healthcare sector in the region.
