Govt to roll out Nirnaya network by April to boost lab facilities

The initiative, which is expected to be rolled out by April 2025 by the Aardram Mission, aims to introduce standardisation and ensure people-friendly services at health centres.

"We aim to standardise the lab network at public health facilities with the setting up of a stipulated number of tests at each level and hub laboratories at primary and secondary levels. The network will be introduced in all health blocks to address gaps in testing at primary facilities," Health Minister Veena George said.
