Our concept is maximally patient-oriented: it is designed to offer the patient the greatest possible simplicity and comfort. They do not have to leave their homes to take smears on Corona, they are not bound to the opening hours of any facility, nor do they have to wait in any waiting room. This means that there is no risk of infecting other people. If you are not infected, protect yourself from Covid-19 infection in the collection centres.

Patients with indications should not have to leave their homes during the entire process. In this way, you do not endanger your fellow human beings or the medical staff in the receiving offices, and we reduce the risk of infection.

The swab on corona from home also relieves the burden on doctors and medical staff so that they can devote themselves to intensive care cases and risk patients instead of taking swabs. In addition, we save on Covi-19 protective clothing, as this is no longer needed for taking the smear.
