In the midst of not a few financial difficulties, the Ministry of Public Health maintains the supply of the necessary reagents so that tests related to the Maternal and Child Care Program (PAMI) can be carried out there.
The research of the technicians and specialists of this SUMA laboratory also supports the investigation of chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as cancer and kidney failure.
Griselda Bordón López, an analyst specialist at the center, said that they also determine the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B and C, as well as the Dengue virus.
She also said that the three-monthly maintenance provided by the Immunoassay Center to the equipment allows them to interpret the samples.
