India-based 70-year-old pathological test service Manipal TRUtest has started operations in Bangladesh to provide advanced and accurate pathology test services.
According to a statement, the company will pay special focus on cancer screening and infection testing as its need has risen in the past few years due to the growing incidence of the deadly disease which has emerged as a big threat.
Under its latest initiative, the company also aims to provide seamless infection testing including the blood culture test, a microbiological test done to detect infections that spread through the bloodstream such as bacteraemia, sepsis, septic shock, etc.
Dr (Capt) Sandeep Sharma, CEO of Manipal TRUtest said they are excited to partner across the border to serve Bangladeshi people.
“As a valued neighbour, we want to bring our expert testing to Bangladesh. Manipal is already a household name in the country as a lot of patients extensively travel to Manipal hospitals in India. We want to take this trust and partnership to the next level with our latest expansion plan,” he added.
As part of the Bangladesh launch, the company is conducting three CMEs in the form of scientific seminars in Dhaka.
The first CME on 'Genetic Testing in Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment and Management' was held recently and another scientific seminar was held on Wednesday.
Dr Swarnalatha Daram, PhD was the keynote speaker at the event and Dr (Capt) Sandeep Sharma was the special guest at the other scientific seminar held on Thursday.
