Bengaluru: K C General Hospital, Malleswaram, has installed a CBNAAT (Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) machine to enhance its tuberculosis diagnostic capabilities.
Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao inaugurated the facility on Thursday.
The machine, donated by Syngenta India Pvt Ltd under its CSR initiative, is one of seven handed over to the state government.
The minister said CBNAAT provides faster and more sensitive results than routine microscopy, delivering TB confirmation in just 90 minutes even when the bacterial load is low.
He urged individuals with persistent symptoms to make use of the upgraded service.
