We have successfully ramped up our testing capacity which has touched nearly 15 lakh milestone on Friday with more than 1,800 testing labs spread across the country.""I have confidence in the scientific developments taking place in the field of treatment and vaccines for COVID-19 and soon India will achieve more success in our fight against COVID-19," he added.The Union Health Minister also released the Research Section Manual and inaugurated an exhibition themed 'AIIMS in COVID Times' that highlights the contribution of AIIMS, to deal with the public health emergency.All the departments displayed exhibits on different topics including COVID-19 testing and evaluation, the procedure for collection of samples and laboratory performance, COVID task force, extensive training of manpower, COVID appropriate behaviour, etc.Minister of State (Health) Ashwini Kumar Choubey praised the medical community for their endless and selfless efforts during COVID times.
