Biolab introduces “Biomarital” — a collection of premarital medical tests aimed at prospective married couples.   In line with national efforts toward stemming genetically transmitted diseases, Biolab — the exclusive Biomnis dealer in the Kingdom — recently introduced its "Biomarital" package; a collection of premarital medical tests geared toward prospective married couples.

Premarital tests allow couples to gauge various genetic, infectious and blood transmitted disorders so as to minimize the risk of transmitting diseases to their children.

Genetic disorders, particularly hemoglobinopathies like beta-thalassemia, are common in Jordan and the region, with an incidence rate of 1 in 2,500 live births. The Biomarital package offered by Biolab comprises of Ministry of Health certified comprehensive tests conducted on both males and females to screen for common hemoglobinopathies and genetic conditions that can potentially be transmitted to children, including sickle cell anemia, hepatitis, HIV, rubella, and others.

Commenting on the introduction of the Biomarital package, Biolab founder Dr. Amid Abdel-Nour explained that the package aims at supporting prospective married couples in securing healthy living for their families by allowing them to discover a variety of asymptomatic conditions, which in turn helps raise the health awareness of both individuals and the community at large.

Such awareness, noted Abdel-Nour, is key to cultivating sustainable family units and healthy future generations.
