Goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strengthened clinical and public health laboratory systems and networks through continued improvements in workforce competency to assure quality and safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Support countries and regions to map existing laboratory systems to defined requirements of a tiered national laboratory system (specifically quality, standards and biosafety), and networks (with specific linkages to disease surveillance and clinical care for both public and private sectors. <\/li>
  2. Assist countries in developing comprehensive national laboratory strategic and implementation plans and enabling policies, which include regulations of laboratory diagnostic testing and secure and safe handling of highly dangerous pathogens. <\/li>
  3. Support Africa CDC RCCs and national-level laboratory networks to implement modern advanced molecular technologies and multiplex pathogen assays. <\/li>
  4. Support the introduction of a patient-centred approach for integrated point-of-care diagnostic testing for syndromic management and surveillance at the community level. <\/li>
  5. Develop and manage strain banks as repositories for diagnostics and vaccine development for emerging and re-emerging pathogens.<\/li>
  6. Support laboratory workforce development, which may include the creation of a field laboratory training programme.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
