Ranchi: The Azim Premji Foundation on Thursday donated medical kits and equipment worth a total of Rs 3.28 crore to the state government in the fight against Coronavirus.
The items included 12,700 PPE kits, 20,300 N-95 masks, 5 true net machines and 2 thermo Fisher RNA extractor machines.
The items were handed to Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The state government was using all possible ways and means to check the spread of Coronavirus and thanked all the sections who were coming forward to help the state government.
The representatives of the foundation said that in a single day the Thermo Fisher RNA Extractor machine would be able to test 2,000 samples and these machines are being put up in RIMS Ranchi and Itki Laboratory while the true net machine would be testing 1000 samples which means when combined both the machines would test 3000 samples on a daily which would overall speed up testing facilities in the state.
