With
the capacity assigned by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health for 600
samples per day, the Diagnosis Laboratory has organized to deploy SARS-CoV-2
testing to join hands to share responsibilities and to support the city in the
fight against COVID-19 (with sample allocation from HCDC). In addition, the
Diagnosis Laboratory can also perform pre-ordered SARS-CoV-2 tests according to
the needs of individuals, and organizations.
The
Diagnosis Laboratory operates directly under the management of Mrs. Nguyen Minh
Ha (PhD, MD), Head of Service Unit cum Head of Department of Biochemistry -
Medical Molecular Biology; and professionally in charge by Mr. Vo Van Tinh
(MSc.), Lecturer at the Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine.
In summary, with modern equipment, high-quality
personnel, standardized testing procedures, individuals and organizations can
be confident in the SARS-CoV-2 testing service provided by The Diagnosis
Laboratory of Biomedical Research Center of Pham Ngoc Thach University of
Medicine. With the core value of BRC "Professional - Quality -
Creative", in the coming time, we will always try to bring our customers
the most satisfying experience, optimal service quality, and highly accurate
test results./.
