Lions Club of Calangute and Leo Club of Calangute in Association with Metropolis Labs and Baga HighQ launched a testing laboratory in Calangute.
The inauguration was done by panch members Saluzinho Fernandes in the presence of Calangute Lions Club President Lion Murtaza Mathernwala, Secretary and Baga HighQ Proprietor MJF Lion Raies Ahmed and others.
Said the proprietor Lion Raies Ahmed, “There was a demand from locals to set up a testing laboratory in Calangute as there is no proper testing lab here and villagers had to travel far for a check-up. In this laboratory, we will do all tests like cholesterol, glucose, CBC and others and reports will be quick. Laboratory will be open everyday from 8 am to 2 pm. We also have home service whereby people can call us and our team will come and do testing at your home.
President of Lions Club Murtaza Mathernwala said, “We have set up the lab; people should take advantage of it.”
Panch member Saluzinho Fernandes appreciated the initiative by Lions and Leo Club of Calangute.
Senior citizen from Calangute Pio Souza Xavier said, “A testing laboratory right here in Calangute will be of great help. Until now, we senior citizens had to travel all the way to Parra for doing our tests.”
Present on the occasion were zone chairperson MJF Lion Illyas Rajabali, treasurer Lion Raymond Pereira, Lion Ahmed and Leo Club president Leo Sagar Lawande.
