Sunshine Healthcare donates PCR test kits to combat COVID-19
Sunshine Healthcare Lanka Ltd has donated LabGun Covid-19 PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) test kits to the Ministry of Health --- coming from the staff of Sunshine Healthcare.
The LabGun COVID-19 new PCR test kits, which are worth Rs. 4.8 million, will further strengthen Sri Lanka’s testing capacity and will be immensely useful in the country’s efforts in dealing with the prevailing situation, the company said in a media release.
The LabGun COVID-19 PCR kit is manufactured by LabGenomics, a South Korean molecular diagnostics company partnered with Siemens Healthineers, which is represented by Sunshine Healthcare Lanka in Sri Lanka for the distribution of these kits.
These PCR kits were used in South Korea largely and helped them to flatten the curve, during their peak period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commenting on this donation, Sunshine Healthcare’s Medical Devices Chief Executive Officer T. Sayandhan said, “As the nation’s healthcare front-liners work tirelessly to protect every citizen against the COVID-19 outbreak, we understood that the need to strengthen the capacity to test Sri Lankans consistently is significant too. It is in this light that we pledged to provide these LabGun COVID-19 PCR test kits to support the government’s commitment to mitigate this global pandemic through continuous testing.”
