~ Capable of handling any future pandemic as well as other infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis and H1N1~
Bengaluru,: India’s fourth largest pathology player, Neuberg Diagnostics, launched an ultramodern COVID-19 fever clinic in Bengaluru today. With our Honourable Prime Minister emphasizing on the need to increase testing, Neuberg Anand aims to provide a hassle-free testing experience with this one-of-a-kind future-ready clinic.
Based on ICMR and State government guidelines, some of the features of the fever clinic include a separate entrance and open-air waiting area, hermetically sealed areas between patient and healthcare worker, and biosafety booth with negative pressure. After a patient leaves, the air inside the chamber is sucked out and passed through HEPA filter and once the virus is trapped, UVC rays are used to kill all viruses. The walls of the booth are also IPA sanitized after every patient is swabbed. The clinic follows the strictest protocols to prevent transmission of any infection. It will also have an on-site doctor for consultation.
Commenting on the development, Dr. Sujay Prasad, Medical Director, Neuberg Diagnostics said, “Being the leader in introducing technology-led innovations, we are delighted to bring this world-class fever clinic to Bengaluru. This entire concept is based on international, national, ICMR, and government of Karnataka guidelines. We have made efforts to make sure the clinic is future ready. This fever clinic will be capable to handle any future pandemic as well as other infectious diseases such as TB, Diphtheria, and H1N1, should the need arise. In the current situation procedures like Pulmonary function test also can be handled within the booth”
Opining on the launch, Ms. Aishwarya Vasudevan, Group Chief Operating Officer, Neuberg Diagnosticssaid, “At a time when the number of COVID-19 cases are growing daily at an average of around 3.25% in the country, the need for Safe Testing is at its peak. Testing can only increase when we provide a secure environment where people can come and get tests done at their own ease and with minimum human contact. With this “Future ready” clinic, we want to give the people of Bengaluru assurance about Neuberg’s belief in providing safe, convenient care, which is measurable by global standards”.
Patients can walk-in directly between Monday to Saturday – 9 AM to 4 PM at our Shivaji Nagar centre or they can call us on 18004251974 if they need to take the test. Testing will be done strictly as per ICMR and state government guidelines added Ms. Vasudevan.
After getting approval from ICMR, Neuberg is now conducting COVID-19 RT-PCR test from 6 of its labs across India. It was the first private chain to get approval in Bangalore (Neuberg Anand), Ahmedabad (NeubergSupratech), Chennai (Neuberg Ehrlich) and Pune (Neuberg A.G Diagnostics), and it is also the first private lab to get RT-PCR and TrueNat approval from ICMR, in Kerala.
