Metropolis now authorised to conduct swine flu tests in three metro cities
Maharashtra state government has decided to grant Metropolis Healthcare authorisation to conduct swine flu tests in the city. Metropolis Healthcare is now authorised to conduct H1N1 tests in three key metro cities; Chennai, Mumbai and Pune and will collect samples across other states for testing.
Metropolis Healthcare has also reduced the test price in Mumbai to make it affordable for the patients. With a well trained in-logistics team and a supremely efficient accession and operation team, Metropolis Healthcare is well positioned to issue reports within 8-24 hours depending on the proximity of the location and the time of collection. Only few select labs in India are authorised to carry out the swine flu test in the laboratory, as this requires specialised testing backed by high end technology and special sample collection requirements.
Dr Nilesh Shah, Group President, Scientific Services & Operations says, “Metropolis Healthcare complies with all requirements of state government. We previously used to send all our samples to Chennai and provide reports within 24 – 26 hours. But now we are happy that our customers will get reports within 8-24 hours. We are also looking forward to applying for permission in Delhi.”
