Burjeel Holdings has entered a partnership with US-based Paige for deploying AI approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in cancer diagnostics across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
By integrating Paige’s AI-powered solutions throughout Burjeel’s healthcare network, the move is set to improve access to advanced cancer diagnostics.

The alliance aims to address the shortage of pathologists worldwide by accelerating the availability of faster cancer diagnostics, with a focus on underserved communities and emerging markets.
Paige’s suite of AI applications has been developed to back diagnostic decision-making in cancer pathology, and includes Paige Prostate Detect, the first FDA-approved AI algorithm for prostate cancer detection in core-needle biopsies.
Burjeel Holdings is poised to offer these tools, providing cancer care that is both timely and accessible.
Paige’s solutions are developed not only to enhance pathologists’ capabilities but also to streamline workflows.
