To launch mobile health clinic vans in Bengaluru

SRL Diagnostics has joined hands with Housejoy, a home maintenance company to develop mobile testing vans which will be deployed across Bengaluru for conducting routine pathological tests.

Talking about the association, Arindam Haldar, CEO, SRL Diagnostics said, “As the country continues to grapple with COVID-19 (coronavirus) and its far-reaching implications, it is important to adopt innovative methods that ensure regular healthcare service remains unaffected. Our association with Housejoy is an effort towards offering the basic testing facility to the citizens residing in Bengaluru via mobile-vans. Last month, to speed up testing in the containment zones of Mumbai, we deployed mobile testing vans for COVID-19 in and around the hotspots of Mumbai.”

A basic testing facility available at a pathological lab has been replicated in a bus by Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) using indigenous technology. The bus consisting of a driver, a doctor and a lab technician is equipped to conduct 300 tests in a day. The pilot project will be implemented in 30 societies for 15 days and depending upon the success rate, the initiative will be further rolled across other parts of the city. 

Sharing details about the initiative, Sanchit Gaurav, Founder & CEO, Housejoy, said, “Housejoy is committed to helping its customers and the government in this time of crisis and is a part of the government’s coronavirus rapid action task force. We have been undertaking fumigation services as well as ensuring that people get access to essential items during the pandemic through our initiative Housejoy Mart. Through the COVID testing camps, we are supporting the government in tracing people with the condition and ensuring that they are referred for further treatment appropriately.”
