Army launches Molecular Laboratory
FORT
BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – The Commanding General, Philippine Army
(CGPA) led the opening of the Philippine Army Molecular Laboratory here
today, July 28, 2020.
In a Ribbon-Cutting and Blessing
Ceremony, Lt. Gen. Gilbert I. Gapay launched the said facility that will
provide quality and accurate health care services related to emerging
infectious diseases to Army personnel, military dependents, civilian
human resource, and other authorized
civilians in the Army. Also in attendance was Assistant Secretary Nestor
Santiago of the Department of Health (DOH). The facility, which will
cater mostly to COVID-19 testing, is currently awaiting accreditation
from the DOH in a few weeks.
The laboratory will receive swab samples collected and delivered by the requesting individual or institution before the lab performs the Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) COVID-19 testing process. About 90 samples can be accomodated per day.
“We deem it necessary to set up this testing facility so we could preserve our force. With 12,000 Army personnel currently involved in COVID-19 response operations and more committed to security operations, we want to take care of our own so we could focus on accomplishing various critical missions,” said Gapay.
