The Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha) is set to increase its coronavirus testing capacity by 7,000 per day, the network said in a recent announcement.
The move was outlined in a series of tweets from the Abu Dhabi Media Office. This means Seha will have a total capacity of more than 115,000 tests per week, or a 72 per cent increase.
As Seha expands its Covid-19 testing facilities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, more people are expected to benefit from its free screenings.
Free tests shall be provided to UAE citizens, domestic workers, people of determination, pregnant women, senior residents aged 50 or older, people with chronic diseases or Covid-19 symptoms, and people who have come into contact with coronavirus.
The Ambulatory Healthcare Services (AHS) will also be opening five new drive-through centres in Abu Dhabi at Al Shamkha, Al Madina and Corniche; Al Masoudi and Al Dhaher in Al Ain City; and in Dubai's City Walk.
The AHS will also increase the operating hours of drive-through centres in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain from five days a week to six.
Al Dhafra Hospitals, a SEHA healthcare facility, has launched three new centres in Silaa, Mirfa and Liwa.
Boosting testing capacity comes under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
