    The management of Africa’s leading integrated digital payment and commerce company, Interswitch Group, has donated 1,500 units of rapid diagnostic test kits to the Enugu State Government.

    The donation, which was facilitated by employee-led voluntary contributions and a supplementary fund provided by the company and its directors is in continuation of its effort to support the Government at both the national and state levels in the fight against the deadly COVID-19.

    In a statement, Interswitch said, the donation to the Enugu State Government is part of the company’s on-going support for the numerous local intervention efforts between State Governments and the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.

    “As the Coronavirus continues to ravage across the globe with increasing numbers of confirmed cases, it has become non-negotiable and imperative to ramp up the testing capacity in Nigeria,” the statement quoted Mitchell Elegbe, Founder/ Group Managing Director at Interswitch saying.

    Meanwhile, Lolo Cecelia Ezeilo, Deputy Governor of Enugu State, who was visibly elated by the donation, commended the Interswitch Group for the kind gesture, noting that the donation of test kits will ensure early testing of suspected cases and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19. She also implored Interswitch to commence the deployment its COVID-19 pathway platform, which is designed to help citizens determine their pre-disposition to the virus.

    The Interswitch pathway platform is a user-friendly, locally nuanced, software application for the assessment of risk and pre-disposition to the novel coronavirus infection. The software was developed by Interswitch’s health-tech subsidiary, eClat Healthcare. The platform analyses users’ information provided from answers to series of questions around risk factors, recent exposure, observed symptoms, health and travel history, and uses the information to determine who needs to get tested for the virus.
