The city got its first chikungunya testing facility on Sunday. With the ‘ELISA’ in place at B J Medical College’s Microbiological epartment, samples need not be sent to Pune or Delhi for virological testing, said Minister of Health for State Ashok Bhatt.
As a result of joint efforts by the State Government and Health and Medical Education Department, tests for polio, leptospirosis, dengue and chikungunya can now be conducted at Ahmedabad itself, he said.
‘‘A similar centre will soon be set up in Vadodara. The two centres will also test samples from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan,’’ he added.
