A machine for Nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) used for testing blood has been installed at MKCG Medical College and Hospital which would benefit patients in a big way.
The NAAT is the latest technology to detect minute viruses in the blood. "This will significantly reduce window periods, resulting in fewer Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTIs) and safer blood. It will prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis through blood transfusion," college Principal A K Daandapat said.
