DAM Health is led by Professor Frank Joseph
A national leader in medical diagnostics is reporting huge demand for coronavirus home testing kits after free lateral flow testing ended earlier this month.
DAM Health, who specialise in Covid-19 testing and carry out work in other areas of medical diagnostics, say they have been inundated with requests for non-travel antigen kits from people testing at home and from big businesses around the UK who are offering tests to employees.
The company says demand is so big they’ve had to employ a raft of new operations team staff. It follows the end of free lateral flow testing in early April and comes as a result of increased concern surrounding the new Omicron XE variant.
‘Concerns about Covid-19 are not going away,’ said Professor Frank Joseph, medical director at DAM Health.
‘We are hearing from people who are worried about the Omicron XE variant and they are being extra cautious by testing themselves at home before mixing. People are being safe which is still very important.’
DAM Health, one of the UK’s leading coronavirus testing companies, has seen a surge in demand for testing kits since the government scrapped free lateral flow tests
DAM Health’s Covid-19 testing solutions have helped to tackle the global spread of coronavirus.
Professor Joseph, who also works in the NHS, added: ‘By taking a lateral flow test before you meet up, you can protect people close to you and help ease the pressure on health and social services.
‘It is particularly important to keep testing before visiting or meeting someone who is older or more vulnerable and there are clear signs that people will continue to do this long into the future.’
DAM Health has sent supplies testing equipment, sanitising products and financial aid to less economically developed countries to help the battle against the disease.
In addition to supplying home testing kits, the private health firm operates diagnostics clinics across the UK, Europe and Mexico.
