Our prime business focus now is tosetup main labs in all the district centers and own satellite centers in Taluk level, so there's no competetion for us, which is the main difference between us and other major diagnostic service providers in India....basically their focus is to cater 20% of the population and our focus is to cater remaining 80%....so we're looking at a huge,huge potential for growth" Join discussion...
