Waleed Al-Omaim

Consultant Chemical Pathologist

Waleed Al-Omaim is a consultant chemical pathologist at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh, where he serves as Head of the Clinical Chemistry Section and works on laboratory quality, method validation and professional development. Chemical pathology carries the largest test volumes in the hospital and the widest clinical reach, so section leadership involves balancing analytical performance, turnaround and cost, and deciding which specialised assays justify being brought in-house rather than referred elsewhere.
