Molecular Biology Services at Healthways Medical Diagnostic Centre (HWMDC)

At Healthways Medical Diagnostic Center (HWMDC), we are proud to offer state-of-the-art molecular biology services, specializing in Real-Time PCR diagnostics for a range of infectious diseases, including COVID-19. We were pioneers in establishing the first COVID PCR Lab in the private sector, significantly contributing to the government’s efforts during the pandemic by conducting extensive PCR tests and supporting smart lockdowns to control the spread of the virus.

Our PCR Diagnostic Services Include:

Qualitative PCR: Detection of HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA.
Quantitative PCR: Measurement of Viral Load for HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA.
COVID-19 PCR: Testing for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
