It clarified that the production is in line with the stringent technical requirements, as prescribed by health ministry. “With a view to further streamline the process of testing and to ensure that the quality of the PPE Coveralls is maintained, the testing laboratory will now accept the sample for testing only on submission of an affidavit in the prescribed format by the organization intending to get their PPE Coverall sample tested in the approved laboratories,” it added. Health & Family Welfare Ministry has appointed HLL Lifecare Limited as the single-window procurement agency for the hospitals and healthcare organisations.
