Israel Helps Congo Establish First Drive-Thru Covid-19 Testing Facility
(Jerusalem Post) Aaron Reich - The Democratic Republic of the Congo has established the country's first "drive-thru" coronavirus testing facilities, after seeking the advice of Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service, which operates such facilities. MDA created dedicated software to manage the Congo's drive-thru facilities, which began operation last month. MDA personnel also prepared a training program that incorporates both videos and written procedures. MDA director-general Eli Bin said: "We have gained extensive experience in obtaining thousands of samples a day efficiently and safely, and now we are happy to share knowledge with other medical entities around the world for the sake of saving human lives."
