In response, Biolab, a private laboratory group with 27 branches across Jordan, assisted with testing. Biolab was equipped to quickly increase molecular testing capacity without compromising quality or turnaround time, allowing them to contribute to national COVID\u201019 surveillance efforts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Biolab expanded testing in Jordan by operationalizing automated testing platforms at various locations, including 16 branches, 2 drive\u2010through and 2 walk\u2010through centres, and entry points for airports and marine passenger arrivals. Genomic and molecular testing were implemented to track variants. Information technology platforms were introduced for sample management, registration, and commercial sample payments. Data were directly provided to the Ministry of Health through these platforms to support public health decision\u2010making and responses. Biolab prioritized staff well\u2010being by providing mental, financial, and physical health support during the pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Biolab processed more than two million samples, with a turnaround time of ~1.5\u00a0h. Results were transmitted directly to key stakeholders in near real time. Biolab conducted variant evaluations on &gt;1.4 million samples using molecular variant testing and &gt;1000 samples using whole genome sequencing. Biolab prioritized staff well\u2010being, improving staff satisfaction from 74% to 91%, a remarkable achievement when many laboratory systems experienced staff burnout and dissatisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The collaboration between public and private laboratories during COVID\u201019 established a model for future joint efforts to prevent outbreaks from becoming pandemics. Biolab's focus on efficiency, quality, and staff well\u2010being enabled consistent, high\u2010quality performance. The introduction of innovative information technology platforms ensured swift information dissemination. Biolab plans to continue investing in these platforms and expand pathogen testing, creating a top\u2010tier testing infrastructure in Jordan with a demonstrated ability to cooperate with the
