Trial of public health kit postponed

On the advice of the drug administration, the public health center has postponed the clinical trial of its invented kit to detect coronavirus.

"We wanted to start the clinical trial of our kit from Tuesday (May 26)," said Muhibullah Khandaker. For this trial, 50 to 100 samples were to be taken at Dhanmondi Nagar Hospital. We have been requested by the Drug Administration not to conduct this trial now. We have postponed the clinical trial out of respect for them.

"We have received approval from the Bangladesh Medical Research Council (BMRC) for our kit proposal," he added. This is an internal clinical trial to update our kit. We have done a clinical trial before and submitted it to the drug administration. '

‘I wanted to do an extended clinical trial of the kit from tomorrow, so that a better version of this kit could be made. BMRC had approval for this clinical trial. We have postponed the trial because the drug administration has told us to, ”he concluded.
