The power of pathology – our pandemic response

The importance of our statewide public pathology service has never been more evident than during the COVID-19 pandemic. From the beginning, NSW Health Pathology has been at the forefront of our public health testing response. Meet the people who were on the frontlines of our pandemic response, from growing the live virus, sequencing its genome, delivering millions of results to patients and even travelling to China to investigate the origins of COVID-19. Virologists, microbiologists, scientists, couriers, data analysts, information technology engineers and all types of support staff were vital in keeping our community safe. These are just some of their stories.
