The successful detection, characterization and tracing of disease transmission that is essential for the prevention and control of public health events require efficient laboratory systems.
Location
About the event
Investing in a regulatory mechanism is at the core of ensuring safe, quality, sustainable laboratory services and allows for laboratories to follow quality management principles, ensure proper designation and evaluation of their national reference laboratories and to participate in external evaluation not just for knowledge sharing but also to allow coordinated responses to spreading infectious diseases. WHO organized a workshop where participants discussed how to improve the quality of public health laboratories through licensing mechanisms for designating national reference laboratories.
