The treatment of HIV/Aids in Mukono District is set to improve following the acquisition of an automation laboratory.
The laboratory is equipped with equipment that analyses the progress of HIV in the body, functions of the organs and examines blood.
The facility, the first of its kind in delivery of health services in Mukono District includes psyprocounter, humarizers and hematology analysers that can produce organ and blood examination results within three minutes.
"This is the latest technology in examining the human body," Mr George William Mwasa, the laboratory technician said.
"I can take three samples at a go and within three minutes the cluster differentiation or organ dysfunction result is produced together with the possible solutions."
