President Murmu has virtually laid the foundation stone for the Zonal Institute of Virology (South Zone) recently.
The National Institute of Virology, Pune, under the Indian Council of Medical Research, is taking all possible steps to increase R&D in the field of virology, said the President. She added that the expansion of the National Institute of Virology through Zonal Campuses across the country to meet the demands of the different geographical regions is important.
“With the aim of preparing the country against any health emergencies and predicting the dangerous pathogens , we have developed BSL 3 and BSL 4 laboratories. The labs would be used to investigate outbreaks in remote locations in India,” said Bharati Pravin Pawar, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare.
