Quesnel, B.C. – Lab staff at the G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital have a new piece of equipment, thanks to  a generous donation from  Joginder and Karam Bhatti.

The equipment is  called a “gram stain analyzer” and it is used  in the process of testing for bacterial organisms.

This new piece of equipment will  simplify the testing process and free up lab staff so they  can focus on other tasks that  directly benefit patient care.
