Early this week, the private sector once again showed its contribution to helping the fight against Covid-19. On March 13, Udenna Foundation, which is headed by Chairperson Dennis Uy, together with MyongJi Hospital in South Korea, donated 1,000 Covid-19 diagnostic kits to the Department of Health.

MyongJi Hospital is among the first to have a significant part in diagnosing and treating the first patients of Covid-19 in Seoul. The hospital used test kits developed by its subsidiary, Biomedical company- CancerRop. In two hours, the kit can generate diagnoses with almost 99.99% accuracy. Early detection is key to treating Covid-19 patients, as they can be given the appropriate treatment and placed in isolation.

MyongJi Hospital pledges to exchange knowledge with DOH concerning treatment protocols for all levels of Covid-19 patients. Udenna Foundation, meanwhile, will continue its cooperation with DOH in reaching people and providing information about preventing the spread of Covid-19 and mitigating worry.
