Brief Description
Description : | The golden period is the most crucial timeframe to provide patients with life-saving treatments. Yet, due to the inadequate availability of lab services and delay in test results, this golden period is crossed, thereby creating a negative impact on the treatment and skyrocketing the mortality rate among the patients. Furthermore, the existing conventional methods require large quantities of samples. However, frequent sample extractions may cause inconvenience to patients, especially those who are weak and anemic. |
