Top 10 Premier Coronavirus Testing Centers in Vietnam

1. National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology

National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology conducts research on epidemiology, medical microbiology, immunology, molecular biology; develops new vaccines and bioproducts for human use; directs several national health programs; advises and proposes medical preventive strategies to the Ministry of Health to limit and mitigate common, dangerous, and emerging diseases; directs professional activities, postgraduate training, and builds a nationwide preventive healthcare network. This is the first coronavirus testing center that Mytour wants to introduce to you.

Dr. Tran Nhu Duong, Deputy Director of the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, stated that in the northern region, the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology has closely collaborated with hospitals to organize testing for suspected cases.

Regarding testing to detect pneumonia patients caused by nCoV, Dr. Duong analyzed: 'Although there is currently no standard test template, we still use a very accurate testing method, which is to determine the genetic sequence of the virus and then compare it with the published genetic map.' Currently, the World Health Organization WHO has not announced a standard test template, a specific test template for testing has not been approved technically, in terms of specificity, sensitivity, so it cannot be sent to member countries. If there is a specific test template, testing will be faster, with results available within 12-24 hours. If other templates are used, not standardized, not internationally recognized, then it is not effective. 'So we currently apply another method, which is to decode the genetic sequence, although it takes longer, about 3-4 days, but it is also very accurate, with accuracy up to 100%' - Mr. Duong affirmed.
