COVID-19 Testing & Variant Tracking

Devi Prime Care on Expanding COVID-19 Testing & Variant Tracking

🧬A Stronger Network. A Safer Tomorrow.

At Devi Prime Care, we believe that healthcare is not just about treatment — it’s about preparedness, precision, and partnership. As part of our ongoing commitment to public health, we are proud to contribute to the national effort to expand COVID-19 testing capacity and strengthen variant tracking across Kerala and beyond.

With over 200 access points now integrated into a comprehensive logistics network, our role in the pandemic response continues to evolve — from frontline diagnostics to strategic coordination with public health authorities.

🧪 Why Testing Still Matters

Even as vaccination rates rise, COVID-19 remains a dynamic threat. Testing is essential to:

  • Detect infections early
  • Prevent community spread
  • Support safe travel, education, and workplace operations
  • Monitor emerging variants and mutations
  • Guide treatment and isolation protocols

At Devi Prime Care, we offer NABL-certified diagnostics powered by Fujifilm Dry Chemistry Technology (Japan) — ensuring fast, accurate results for patients and clinicians alike.

🔬 Tracking Variants with Confidence

COVID-19 variants such as Delta, Omicron, and newer strains require vigilant monitoring. Through advanced diagnostic protocols and genomic surveillance partnerships, we help:

  • Identify and classify variants
  • Share data with health authorities
  • Adapt clinical strategies based on evolving risks

Our team works closely with certified labs and public health experts to ensure that every test contributes to a broader understanding of the virus’s behavior.

đźšš Logistics That Save Lives

Behind every successful test is a system of coordination. Our logistics partners enable:

  • Timely sample collection and transport
  • Cold chain integrity for sensitive materials
  • Mobile testing units in remote areas
  • Rapid response during outbreak surges

This infrastructure allows Devi Prime Care to serve not just urban centers, but also underserved communities — ensuring equitable access to testing and care.

🤝 A Model Built on Collaboration

Our COVID-19 response is powered by collaboration. We work hand-in-hand with:

  • Government agencies
  • Private laboratories
  • Community health centers
  • Technology platforms

Together, we’ve built a model that prioritizes transparency, accessibility, and patient education — because public trust is the foundation of public health.
