The significance of the new technology is in its enabling a speedy and effective response for everyone who needs it, primarily patients who require hospitalization.
Director of the Microbiology Laboratory, Dr. Sarit Freeman: “This is a tool which has now been upgraded by kits suitable for diagnosis of the novel coronavirus, a small and significant difference.”
The laboratory at Hillel Yaffe operates 24 hours a day, so as to provide the fastest possible answer, and to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival and an answer being received, thereby making the hospital environment safer for the benefit of all patients and staff.
Please note: The tests at the medical center are only for those currently hospitalized as well as serving a laboratory to which samples from various outside bodies are sent. Tests cannot be carried out for individuals.
