The University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, Ondo State, has expressed its readiness to start conducting COVID -19 tests.
According to the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Adesegun Fatusi, the university has the capacity to conduct the test and would start conducting it within few days from now.
“The PCR machine used for conducting the test for COVID-19 is available in UNIMED. As you know right now, anybody who is suspected, the sample has to be taken to Ede in Osun State to conduct the test but within the next few days, we are going to start testing.
“We are going to continue to partner with the federal and state Ministry of Health to support them not just on COVID-19, we are going to also support them on Lassa fever and on other issues because we are going to ensure the diagnostic facilities are available.”
He further stated that the institution was actively engaged in community sensitization on COVID-19 via indigenous, traditional and social media.
“Sensitisation is the most important thing at this point in time to let the people know what they should do in order to prevent further spread of the virus,” he said.
