Reducing what patients pay for testing, so a diagnosis is not decided by household income.
Laboratory Capacity
Instrumentation, servicing and the calibration that keeps facilities usable.

Why this fund exists
An instrument that is not calibrated is not an instrument. This fund covers the servicing, calibration and replacement parts that keep the Center's laboratories capable of producing results anyone should rely on.
It also builds capacity: each addition widens the range of testing the Center can offer, both to researchers and to the patients referred for subsidised diagnostics.
What each amount pays for
- Rs 40,000annual calibration of one bench instrument
- Rs 250ka full service contract for a core analyser
- Rs 1.00Ma replacement centrifuge for the diagnostics bench
This fund needs
Rs 4.00M
for a full year of this work
Where else support is needed
Reagents, consumables and the running costs of active studies in molecular biology and diagnostics.
Funded positions and programmes that build lasting research capacity in people.
