The Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital at Sinamangal in Kathmandu is going to test the PCR of coronavirus at 2,500.
KMC has informed that it will test the PCR at a fee of Rs 1,900 less than the amount fixed by the government. According to the hospital, this is the cheapest rate in the capital.
The government has set Rs 4,400 for Corona's PCR test.
KMC has stated that arrangements have been made to conduct PCR tests at the rate of Rs 2,499 for the organizations conducting 20 swab tests at a time and at Rs 2,599 for the general public.
This fee has been implemented from Monday. Sunil Sharma informed. "Corona infections are on the rise across the country.
The government has not been able to increase the scope of testing as per the demand, 'said Dr Sharma.' We have tried to help in the event of an outbreak of the corona by conducting tests at low cost. '
KMC has started PCR testing from Shrawan 1. Since then, about 1,200 PCR tests have been performed.
Dr. Sharma, who is also the director of Nobel Teaching Hospital in Biratnagar had assumed the responsibility of KMC chairperson from Bhadra 15. Less than a week after that, Dr. Sharma has decided to reduce the PCR fee.
