Laboratory – Center for high-tech medical diagnosis Thien Nhan Danang has enough capacity to confirm positive for Sars-CoV-2. Today, April 26, Dr. Do Thai Hung, Director of Nha Trang Pasteur Institute signed Decision No. 905 / QD-IPN on recognition of the laboratory – Center for high-tech medical diagnosis Thien Nhan Da Nang. confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 virus positive cases. This laboratory is responsible for confirming cases of positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus in Da Nang, to confirm for other localities upon request and report test data according to regulations. . Earlier on April 24, Nha Trang Pasteur Institute conducted an inspection and assessment of the testing capacity for SARS-CoV-2 virus of Thien Nhan Laboratory – Thien Nhan, Thien Nhan High-tech Medical Diagnostic Center in Da Nang. . Thien Nhan Da Nang High-Tech Medical Diagnostic Center has built a molecular biology laboratory according to international association standards, ensuring accuracy and safety in the process of receiving and manipulating tests. Sample / Solution Transport … Nha Trang Pasteur Institute has verified and recognized all the operating documents / procedures, equipment management, initial waste treatment in medical waste treatment, general testing procedures. test; fully equipped with chemicals, biologicals and materials for the SARS-CoV-2 confirmation test. In particular, people who test positive cases for SARS-CoV-2 virus meet the prescribed requirements, are well trained in screening testing techniques trained by Nha Trang Pasteur Institute. According to Mr. Ngo Duc Hai, Director of Thien Nhan High-tech Medical Diagnostic Center, is the first private medical unit in Da Nang to be licensed by the Department of Health of Da Nang City to coordinate the City Disease Control Center. Da Nang (CDC) tested for SARS-CoV-2 from August 2020. Over the past time, Thien Nhan laboratory has tested SARS-CoV-2 for more than 8,000 people, actively serving the Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control of Da Nang city and central provinces. Especially during the peak epidemic in Da Nang 8-2020, to meet the needs of safety in production, travel, exit … in accordance with regulations on prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic.

This is also the first private medical facility licensed by the Department of Health of Da Nang City to coordinate with CDC Da Nang to test for SARS-CoV-2 in August 2020. Up to now, the center has tested for more than 8,000 people, actively serving the epidemic prevention work of Da Nang City and neighboring provinces. “We want to contribute more to proactively deal with the increasingly complex COVID-19 epidemic in the world. Serve the safety of production, travel, study and work of local people at home and abroad “- said the representative of the establishment. Laboratory of SARS-CoV-2 at Thien Nhan High-tech Medical Diagnostic Center. Photo: T.AN Previously, to serve the SARS-CoV-2 virus testing, the center has invested in advanced equipment systems such as Realtime PCR machine, grade II biosafety cabinet, sound refrigerator 80 degrees Celsius to store positive / suspected patient samples. In particular, building a negative pressure room with suction and disinfection system at the speed of 1,500m3 / hour, ensuring maximum safe and sterile ventilation for the laboratory. The Japanese microbiological liquid waste treatment system ensures absolute safety before going to the environment with the regular monitoring inspection by the General Department of Meteorology and Hydrology – Central Hydrometeorology Station. The set. In addition, the center’s laboratory is also fully equipped with chemicals, biologicals and materials for the SARS-CoV-2 confirmation test. Personnel for SARS-CoV-2 testing, meeting the prescribed requirements, are well trained in SARS-CoV-2 screening techniques trained by Nha Trang Pasteur Institute.

Around the meeting. Accordingly, diphtheria is an infectious disease, acute poisoning, respiratory transmission and potentially epidemic. In Vietnam, diphtheria – pertussis – tetanus vaccination has been included in the expanded vaccination since 1984 with 3 basic doses for children aged 2-4 months. However, now diphtheria epidemic has returned and is a public health problem of concern; 93.2% of cases recorded in the Central region are between the ages of 5-40 years old, and cases occur in children who have been vaccinated with 3-4 doses of vaccine containing ingredients. previously detoxified diphtheria. Therefore, the determination of antibodies to diphtheria toxins and factors related to antibody retention in the 5-40 year old target group is necessary for the implementation of appropriate epidemic response activities. , effective. Especially, Khanh Hoa is a province with developed tourism and large trade, bordering provinces with epidemic circulation, so it is necessary to conduct research on the topic. From the above practice, the topic has focused on researching contents such as: determining the residue of antibodies to diphtheria toxin at the age from 5-40 years old in the provincial community; describe a number of factors related to the persistence of antibodies to diphtheria toxin; propose solutions to prevent and control diphtheria … The results of this research topic will contribute to the development of policies and solutions for the preventive medicine sector of Khanh Hoa in particular and provinces and cities in general in the strategic orientation of the prevention and control of leukemia. almost. Along with that, assessing the current situation of the residue of diphtheria toxin antibodies in the province, helping to have an overall view of the status of immunity to diphtheria in the community; From there, help us to recognize, evaluate and improve the effectiveness of immunization in the future … Explanation of topics approved by the Council of Science and Technology of Khanh Hoa province, allowing Nha Trang Pasteur Institute to implement; Expected implementation time is from 7-2021 to 12-2022.
