Sprucing Up Almaty's COVID-19 Testing Scene

Supplying Essential Reagents for BCP Testing: Babakumarov's Directive in Almaty

In the heart of Almaty, the city's Akim, B. Sagintayev, alongside Deputy Akim E. Babakumarov, the city's Department of Quality and Safety Control of Goods and Services head, and the Chief State Sanitary Doctor, Zh. Bekshin, grilled the leaders of 17 covid-19 research laboratories at a work meetup, as confirmed by Almaty.tv.

The chief objective? To chat about lab readiness for a probable covid-19 infection spike, evaluate the current situation, and ensure an ample supply of reagents for the months ahead.

As it stands, 17 Almaty labs offer PCR testing for covid-19, boasting a daily testing capacity of around 10,150. Since March, a whopping 550,000 PCR tests have been conducted, with plans to amplify the total capacity to a striking 20,000 tests per day.

Here's a lineup of the 17 labs in question:

  • Modular laboratory,
  • LLP "Privet Clinic Almaty",
  • Branch "NCE" in Almaty city,
  • LLP "KDL Olymp",
  • Scientific Practical Center for Sanitary and Epidemiological Expertise and Monitoring,
  • GIKB named after I. Zhekenov,
  • LLP "El Lab PCR",
  • AO NCP and Children's Surgery Center,
  • LLP "Aqua Lab",
  • GCP on PHV "Center for Prevention and Control of AIDS",
  • LLP "Medical Partners Korea Qazaqstan",
  • National Scientific Center for Especially Dangerous Infections named after M. Aikimbayev,
  • LLP "Nurlab-2030",
  • LLP "Innosol",
  • LLP "Immunotest",
  • LLP "Gamma Lab", and
  • "National Center for Biotechnology" of NNC OI named after M. Aikimbayev.

The lab chiefs showcased their PCR and IFR test capabilities and stockpiles of consumables.

Babakumarov highlighted the necessity to stockpile reagents to sustain uninterrupted PCR tests during periods of heightened demand, particularly during the fall-winter season.

Given the anticipation of increased passenger traffic from abroad, the significance of prompt diagnoses at Almaty International Airport and the fortification of incoming passenger screenings was underscored.

Attention was devoted to elevating transparency in the PCR diagnosis of the populace.

In the past, it was discovered that the infection statistics for the metropolis also encompassed cases from suburban regions. Integrating information systems will boost the efficiency of tracking tested residents and disease trends.
