The Sirte Reference Laboratory conducted medical tests for over 2600 individuals, including Libyans and foreigners, in September. The laboratory, which is under the Ministry of Health, provides medical analysis services for citizens and residents in Sirte and neighboring areas. According to the laboratory's director, Dr. Mohamed Saad Amer, the facility has been working diligently to accommodate large numbers of people seeking health certificates for various purposes.
The tests were primarily conducted for the issuance of health certificates required for marriage, employment, and education. Dr. Amer stated that the laboratory's service sections have been working hard to receive large numbers of people. The laboratory's services are essential for the residents of Sirte and surrounding areas, including Ras Lanuf to the east and Abu Qrein to the west, and Jufra to the south.
Dr. Amer appealed to the Ministry of Health to provide the necessary medical equipment to conduct blood chemistry and hormone tests. He emphasized the importance of these tests in completing the services provided by the laboratory to the public. The laboratory currently faces challenges due to the lack of equipment, which hampers its ability to provide comprehensive services.
In addition to providing medical testing services, the laboratory's director called for cooperation from the National Development Agency and the Ministry of Health to establish a new administrative headquarters for the laboratory. This would involve utilizing a plot of land allocated for this purpose by the State Property Authority. A new headquarters would improve the services provided to residents.
The laboratory's services are crucial for the local population, and its director stressed the need for support to enhance its capabilities. The Ministry of Health and other relevant authorities are expected to take necessary steps to address the laboratory's needs and improve its services.
The Sirte Reference Laboratory plays a vital role in providing medical testing services to the local community. Its operations are essential for maintaining public health and facilitating various administrative processes. The laboratory's staff works diligently to ensure that tests are conducted efficiently and effectively.
The laboratory's director expressed appreciation for the efforts made by the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders in supporting the laboratory's operations.
