Jack Yang, a specialist from Daan Gene, was one of the volunteers. He arrived in Iraq with a complete set of PCR laboratory equipment and consumables, including nucleic acid reagents, nucleic acid extraction instruments, biological safety cabinets, etc.
Although there was a double threat caused by war and the epidemic, the volunteers were determined to overcome all the difficulties to complete their mission-to assist local medical institutions. They had been working for more than 50 days continuously to build the “Great Wall” to fight against COVID-19.
On March 25, the PCR laboratory assisted by Daan Gene was established in Baghdad Medical City. This laboratory has greatly improved the local PCR testing capabilities and alleviated the urgent need in Iraq.
