Initially, the new lab will be processing some 100 tests per day, and will gradually reach 200 tests per day, as its capacity depends on extending its specialized staff team.
“The laboratory will enable us to increase the processing capacity of tests in the county of Covasna and to lend support to the neighbouring counties of Brasov, Sibiu, Prahova and Vrancea. Tests are acquired independently and are processed at authorities’ demand and internally for the medical staff doing the triage and entering the surgery room, as well as for vulnerable patients, with a high risk to the new coronavirus,” said Mihai Marcu, President and CEO of MedLife Group.
The company also plans to open its third Real Time PCR laboratory, in western city of Timisoara, the coming period.
MedLife also has a Real Time PCR laboratory in capital Bucharest.
Medlife has preventively tested its medical staff to avoid as much as possible a possible contamination, especially asymptomatically.
