London Medical Laboratory, the UK’s first omnichannel blood testing, diagnostic and health check business, is in talks with the world’s largest Government-run public healthcare system, to help slash Brazil’s patient waiting lists.
Aug 21 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Brazil’s NHS equivalent, the SUS, is the largest Government-run public healthcare system in the world. It’s free at the point of access but faces strong demand and increasing wait times. London Medical Laboratory is now in talks about sharing some of the knowledge behind its revolutionary blood testing technology, to help the SUS identify health issues early and dramatically reduce future demand.
London Medical Laboratory is now discussing sharing some of the knowledge behind its revolutionary blood testing technology, to help the SUS transform into a preventative healthcare system. Using methods originally developed by LML and its partners, the SUS would be able to identify problems before patients even show symptoms. This could dramatically reduce future demand by diagnosing early some of Brazil’s most common health issues.
Says Flavia: ‘This is a wonderful opportunity for LML to share its knowledge to help reduce the burdens on Brazil’s amazing but incredibly hard-pressed health service. There are currently around 618,593 doctors registered in Brazil; that’s an increase of around 70% over 2010. However, the total population is around 217 million and everyone is entitled to use SUS services . That show the scale of the potential demand on Brazil’s public healthcare.
‘With that in mind, LML’s blood testing technology could transform Brazil’s health care by preventing many cases of the most common conditions before they ever develop. For example, we were able to introduce LML’s tests for diabetes and high cholesterol to IPEA representatives. It’s thought at least 8 million Brazilians are suffering from undiagnosed diabetes. The disease leads to almost 55,000 leg or foot amputations every year.
