Why people in Kolkata book SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RT-PCR
Kolkata's vibrant healthcare landscape, with landmarks like Victoria Memorial and Howrah Bridge, makes it a crucial testing hub. The presence of major hospitals and corporate offices in areas like Salt Lake and Park Street means many residents often require COVID-19 testing, whether for travel, work, or health monitoring.
Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, is a major healthcare hub for eastern India. Long-established government teaching hospitals such as SSKM (IPGMER), NRS Medical College and R.G. Kar operate alongside corporate networks including Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals on the EM Bypass and AMRI's several campuses. Diagnostic labs and sample-collection points are spread across central areas like Park Street, Esplanade and Gariahat, the Salt Lake / Sector V belt, and newer facilities in New Town and the southern suburbs. Patients often travel into the city from across West Bengal and neighbouring states for specialist consultations and pathology, so home sample collection and clear report delivery are practically useful here.
