Context
In an environment where circulation of goods and people is constantly increasing, the risk posed by global threats in the bio field is also growing. In order to enhance health security, countries need to exert a continuous monitoring of their population’s health, but they must also build capacity to identify health risks emerging internationally that can affect their population.
Objective
The project is aimed at creating a framework for collaboration on reference laboratories issues to improve communicable diseases surveillance and communication and provide training for public health experts in the participating countries. It will build-up on the results of the ending EpiSouth-Plus project (IFS/2010/238-194).
