Project ARK-PCR Donates Equipment To PCMC

One thousand tests per day will be added to the targeted 3,000 Polymearase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing capacity of Philippine Children’s Medical Center with the turnover of PCR equipment and natch machines from Go Negosyo Project ARK - PCR donated by Wilcon Depot, Inc. through the Quezon City government.

“The threat of resurgence is always there. The key to that is creating visibility; the only way to create visibility is to do targeted mass testing: employees, different barangays, and frontliners. Project ARK started to bring in a lot of equipment for RT-PCR testing. These are being deployed to 12 hospitals led by ARKPCR Private Sector Chief Implementer Jannette Garin,” Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion said.

“We’re looking forward to increasing the PCR capacity on a daily basis. All of the efforts from the government, Philippine Red Cross, and us, in the private sector, pooled together, will be a big help,” he said.
