Qatar has appropriately prioritised diagnostic testing and supported the laboratory response network to ensure the ability to test for potential cases of COVID-19, which is allowing for the better protection of the population, Minister of Public Health HE Dr Hanan Mohamed al Kuwari has said. Amid the healthcare sector’s ongoing measures to combat COVID-19, Kuwari met with staff at Hamad Medical Corporation’s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (DLMP). “As of March 17, almost 8,400 people in Qatar have been tested for COVID-19. The state’s proactive programme of testing means Qatar has one of the highest testing rates in the world,” Kuwari said.
