Lancashire Teaching Hospitals (LTH) announced that a local millionaire had donated thousands of new Covid-19 anti-body testing kits. The Bhailok family donated antibody testing kits costing £50,000.

Dr Mohammed Munavvar, Consultant Chest Physician and Interventional Pulmonologist at LTH, called the donation “the first of its kind in the UK.”

Explaining the importance of the “rapid, point-of-care antibody test” he said they would allow staff members to “facilitate unique initial feasibility studies in our frontline health workers. Following this evaluation, it is our hope to extend this testing to our other healthcare workers and beyond.”

The Bhailok family has already donated £50,000 as part of their appeal to raise funds to help the NHS. Property millionaire Yousuf Bhailok led the project with his family members Mustaq, Ayub and Dr Faisal Bhailok and his wife Lamisha who both work for LTH. Yousuf, former Secretary -General of the Muslim Council of Britain, told The Muslim News, “We were the first ones in the country to get them the diagnostic antibodies.”

“We procured PPEs, NHS heroes support packs [in addition] Qur’an cubes, Zamzam water and prayer beads for Muslim patients. We assisted with certain oxygen PPAP machines and whatever else they needed at their discretion including food and grocery supplies for the staff at RPH.

“So it was primarily there to support locally the needs of the front line NHS workers and instead of having to go through the bureaucratic channels of central procurement, whatever they needed locally they didn’t have to wait and they should get it,” Bhailok added.

LTH said they were planning to first use the tests to compare accuracy for existing tests on staff that had tested positive or negative for Covid-19.

Head of Charities at LTH NHS Foundation Trust, Paula Wilson, thanked the family for “their amazing generosity and continued support.

The Bhailok family decided very early on in the Covid-19 pandemic to purchase these testing kits and worked hard to procure them under unprecedented global pressures, for the benefit of our dedicated staff members. I would really like to commend them for this amazing act of kindness.”
