A MAJOR MILESTONE CROSSED IN OUR EFFORTS AGAINST COVID-19!
More than 25000 samples have now been tested at our diagnostics facility, over ten weeks. A big thank you to our staff and scientists whose determination, diligence and persistence through the past few months have made this possible. Dr. Tatyarao Lahane, Director, DMER, Government of Maharashtra, addressed NCCS when it crossed the milestone of 10000 samples tested (watch the recording here). Dr. Lahane has been closely associated with NCCS since the diagnostics facility became operational. We are greatly encouraged by his appreciation of our efforts.
