ST.MARC MEDICAL & DIAGNOSTIC CENTER TODAY
History and Today, 36 years after its establishment:
Established in 1978, St. Marc has been the first diagnostic medical center in
Lebanon
after it added a radiology dept. to its already existing medical laboratory
which was opened in 1976. Several years later it added a professional echography
unit combining three units in one.
From that time on, St. Marc Medical Diagnostic Center has continued to flourish.
It currently has 30 different medical diagnostic departments in its Zalka and
Jetawi branches combined, equipped with the most sophisticated and up-to-date
machinery.
All of our departments have been ISO 9001:2008 certified since 2009, making us
the first full medical diagnostic private center to acquire this certificate. In
the year 2000, St. Marc also was the first to go online with its results,
providing patients, doctors and insurance companies a secure and effortless link
to the data they require.
In 2008, a new Nuclear Medicine dept was established in the Zalka branch,
where all scintigraphy procedures are performed including: thyroid, bone,
kidney, and cardiac. 2011 saw the installment of two new Cone Beam (CB-CT)
scanners in Zalka and Jetawi, giving St. Marc the latest technologies in both
quality of 3-D imaging and patient comfort. A new semi-open advanced MRI unit
(PHILIPS, see images) was also installed in Jetawi allowing St. Marc to perform
various new MRI imaging procedures with the highest image resolution available
currently. Recently, the laboratory dept saw the addition of five new tests
which were not available in Lebanon to its vast list of blood tests(which count
more than 400 tests), making it the first to perform them locally rather than
outsource them (AMH, Quadruple Test, HE-4, and Anti-MCV, Calprotectin). St. Marc
has been a pioneer in medical diagnostic tests by quality and services. The
future will see the continuation of this trend.
