As we provide Line Probe assays from Hain Lifescience GmbH, Germany to our customers in Pakistan, we are also engaged with NTP. NTP and PTPs contact us to provide their labs necessary awareness to do advanced molecular testing and we provide them with rapid tests information as well as presentations, demonstrations and trainings so that they can handle such assays efficiently.
There are several funding agencies which works with NTP to strengthen lab infrastructure in Pakistan such as kfw/AGEG and with their help we provide our technical services to funded labs.
This way we not only help NTP and PTPs achieve their targets and goals but also creating a pool of highly trained professional healthcare and lab workers to do modern lab diagnostics for TB and MDR-TB. |
