Lancet Kenya has set up a modern laboratory in Bungoma county to be used for testing various illnesses, including Covid-19. Lancet has partnered with Elgon View Premier Hospital in the initiative. Lancet chief executive officer Dr Ahmed Kalebi said the full-fledged laboratory will reduce delays residents have been experiencing when they go for Covid-19 tests. "Residents can now get their Covid-19 results here instead of waiting for their samples from Kemri in Kisumu," he said. The proprietor of Elgon View Premier Hospital, Dr Amin Sheik, said they will be offering affordable services to their clients.
