📋 Tender Overview
With the aim of increasing the molecular diagnosis of Covid-19 SARS-CoV-2 the Minister of Health Vctor Zamora inaugurated the expansion of the new specialized and exclusive laboratory for the processing of molecular tests for Covid-19 which has with state-of-the-art technology and the ability to diagnose up to 6000 samples daily at the headquarters of the Chorrillos National Health Institute INS.This new laboratory has the capacity to process up to six thousand samples daily which will allow us to strengthen the work the network of laboratories and supplies nationwide and thus expand the diagnostic capacity of Covid-19 throughout the country increasingly based on molecular tests he stressed. The Minister of Health said that during the pandemic not only financial technological human logistical resources medicines and supplies have been mobilized to assist the population but also advances have been made in the field of science and technology.The INS has been expanding its capabilities there is currently a network of 12 laboratories. We have an important endowment of supplies 250 thousand molecular tests with the expectation that we will have 450 thousand in the shortest time which will allow us access to the molecular test by the population he stressed. Diagnostic capacity is also being expanded at the local level with the intervention of rapid response teams ERR for diagnosis and finally processing capacity.He said that at the start of the pandemic there was a single reference laboratory with a capacity of 500 tests per day and in these 90 days the effort to expand molecular tests in our country has not stopped. In addition he noted that the INS in the area of research has also participated in the global network of scientific research identifying the genome of the virus in Peru has also collaborated in the development of the vaccine worldwide and has technology national to obtain our own molecular technology in Peru.The head of the INS Cesar Cabezas said that this institute carries out tests since the start of the pandemic and as the number of samples has progressed the number of samples has also been adjusted. Thus the institute has implemented various technologies to meet the needs and have a higher performance. The activity was attended by the Deputy Minister of Public Health of the Minsa Nancy Zerpa.
