Mr. Pramodh BN, Head of Commercial Operations​, Pure Health, said: “We are delighted to associate with international airlines and airport operators on this initiative, which is intended to enable people to travel safely and with peace of mind to any destination that requires a negative PCR Covid-19 status. We have facilitated the Covid-19 screening in all these countries for outgoing passengers, who can book an appointment at the listed, accredited labs that are accepted by relevant airlines and health authorities.”

“The portal enables passengers to register and avail the service. It also enables the laboratories to update and report results in selected countries,” he added.

Pure Health has built the largest global network of laboratory partners in the world in addition to having the largest Covid-19 testing capability in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia with the capacity to perform 80,000 RT-PCR tests and 110,000 laboratory based antibody tests daily.
