Labo Diamniadio à IRESSEF

What Labo Diamniadio à IRESSEF does

Labo Diamniadio (legal name: Laboratoire de biologie médicale Diamniadio, LBMD) is a private medical biology laboratory operating within IRESSEF (Institut de Recherche en Santé, de Surveillance Épidémiologique et de Formations), a public health research institute in Senegal. The laboratory is located at the Pole Urbain de Diamniadio in Dakar and provides a broad menu of diagnostic testing services across eight specialties: medical biochemistry, immuno-hematology, bacteriology-virology, parasitology-mycology, molecular biology, reproductive biology, genetic identification (paternity and DNA fingerprinting for judicial and family reunification purposes), and agro-food/environmental analysis. Its technical platform includes modern hematology, biochemistry, and microbiology analyzers supported by next-generation genetic sequencing systems using 21 allele detection for DNA-based testing. The lab is accredited under ISO 15189:2022 and ISO 15190:2020 by Accreditation Canada Diagnostics, and certified ISO 9001:2000 since January 2023 — a credential stack uncommon among Senegalese diagnostics providers.

The laboratory generates revenue on a fee-for-service, transaction-based model. Patients are served primarily through walk-in visits at the single Diamniadio site, with supplementary channels including telephone and online appointment booking, home sample collection by appointment, and self-collection services. Payment is accepted via cash, Wave, Orange Money, and bank card; third-party billing (tiers payant) is practiced with health insurance schemes and most mutual health funds. Results are delivered the same day for most tests, either through the Smart Labo online portal, by email, or in person. On the B2B side, the agro-food and environmental unit serves food industry, cosmetics, and public-sector clients with microbiological and contaminant testing, water analysis, quality audits, and certifying training programs.

The company employs approximately 10 staff and serves primarily individual patients and prescribing healthcare professionals across Senegal, with a secondary B2B customer base in the agro-food sector via partnerships with SENICO and SEDIMA and a network of conventioned nurses for home collection. Marketing is conducted through an informational website, social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), WhatsApp Business, and email newsletter. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or disclosed revenue figures are present in the available data, and growth signals are limited to the recent accreditation milestones, service-line diversification, and digital portal deployment.
