Following in the footsteps of the government, a Delhi-based laboratory is offering free treatment for the swine flu, dengue and chikungunya sufferers living below the poverty line (BPL).

Lifeline Laboratory has agreed to do free tests for BPL families for 2 weeks. This will start from 28 August to 11 September, 2017. People can come anytime between 9 am to 6:30 pm for free tests.

It is to be noted here that carrying BPL cards would be must for availing the facility. Anybody carrying the BPL card along with the doctor's reference can visit the Lab and get their test done. There will be no fee charged from them.

"It is our constant endeavour to work towards developing a healthy society. While the good quality medical facilities are not easily accessible to the lower strata of the society so we thought of doing our bit for them. Since there is an outbreak of Swine flu, Dengue and chikungunya in Delhi NCR so it is our duty to serve the underprivileged people. We have decided to offer these tests Free of cost to all those people who have been referred by doctors and hospitals for any of above 3 tests" said Dr Angeli Misra.

Lifeline Laboratory is known as one of the most progressive and scientific laboratories in Delhi which was started with the vision of achieving international standards in Pathology industry 25 years back. The laboratory, under the leadership of vastly experienced doctors Dr Angeli Misra and Dr Asha Bhatnagar, is continuously excelling in the field and upgrading itself in technology, quality and patient management.
