THE Agha Khan Hospital has acquired state-of-the art laboratory equipment for conducting specialized testing that will save time and money spent for sending samples abroad.
A Roche e411 worth 200m/- is a full automated immuno analyzer equipment which will help conduct testing such as cardiac markers, tumor markers, hepatitis B serological markers and therapeutic drug levels.
The Agha Khan Chief Executive Officer Mr Sulaiman Shahabuddin said the equipment would help strengthen health services, saying patients will receive results within a short time contrary to the past when they had to wait for two or more weeks.
”Given the capability of this equipment, sending high tech lab tests to external facilities will no longer happen. Overall we are confident this is a beneficial investment in laboratory services in Tanzania,” said Mr Shahabuddin.
