Singapore, Aug 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
- Medical technologists are vital to Singapore’s COVID-19 testing capabilities in the country’s bid to open up safely, but their efforts often go unnoticed by the public
- Since May 2021, medical technologists have processed nearly 70,000 COVID-19 tests a week, with more than 16 million tests completed throughout the pandemic
- Their stories will be shared on social media as part of the ‘Proud to Pipette’ campaign, celebrating their role supporting Singapore during the pandemic
The “Proud to
Pipette” campaign celebrates the medical technologists in Singapore who
work tirelessly in laboratories, hospitals and testing centers to
process COVID-19 tests, supporting the country’s trace and track
efforts.
Advanced MedTech Holdings (AMTH), a home-grown global medical technology leader, headquartered in Singapore, is spearheading the campaign.
The initiative aims to spotlight medical technologists, whose line of work often requires them to work round the clock, while risking their personal safety, as they handle active viral samples during the pandemic. They have been as essential as frontline healthcare workers in protecting Singapore, yet their efforts often go unnoticed.
Through their work, healthcare workers and contract tracing staff can rigorously track and trace infected persons to effectively manage any outbreaks.
At least 1,000 reusable masks with the campaign hashtag “ProudtoPipette” will be distributed, along with a QR code to redeem KOI bubble tea vouchers.
AMTH will identify these critical professionals through existing customer networks and social media.
To further honor their efforts, AMTH will spearhead a social media platform for medical technologists to share their untold stories of personal sacrifice during the pandemic. Follow their journey here.
Abel Ang, Group Chief Executive of Advanced MedTech, said “Medical technologists involved in testing are the unsung heroes of the pandemic. Like healthcare workers, they have toiled long hours with the constant risk of being exposed to the virus. This campaign seeks to honor their tremendous efforts to keep our country safe, with a unique reusable facemask that proudly identifies what they do, together with a popular drink enjoyed by many, in the testing laboratories.”
