The first PCR laboratory of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan, which allows testing not only for COVID-19, but also for other types of infections, is ready for operation.

The laboratory was created on the basis of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Center of the Armed Forces in Almaty. The premises of the building were repaired and prepared in a short time, after the installation of the necessary equipment, commissioning work was carried out to launch the PCR laboratory.

The commissioning of the laboratory will ensure a wide coverage of the personnel of the Armed Forces with testing for coronavirus. The corresponding instruction about this was given by the Minister of Defense during the next apparatus meeting at the Ministry of Defense.

The personnel of the Armed Forces from the first days actively participated in measures to combat the spread of coronavirus: the military carried out disinfection, served at checkpoints, participated in patrolling settlements, providing medical assistance and many other areas. Given the constant presence in close proximity to sources of dangerous infection, early detection of possible infection is especially important.

It should be noted that the creation of our own virological laboratory was made possible thanks to the charitable support of the construction company “SABA GROUP”, the owner of which, Arystanbek Beykhanuly Sabali, made a personal initiative in this.

The company purchased and donated the necessary equipment for the laboratory, provided technical support and even organized staff training.

The presence in the Armed Forces of its own laboratory will provide the personnel with the necessary volume of PCR diagnostics, which is distinguished by high accuracy and efficiency.
