How to rapidly detect emerging & re-emerging laboratory threats
The manuscript discusses how the ability to rapidly detect emerging and re-emerging threats relies on a strong network of laboratories providing high quality testing services.

Improving laboratory quality systems to ensure that these laboratories effectively play their critical role requires using a tailored stepwise approach can assist them to comply with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHRs) and the World Organization for Animal Health’s (OIE) guidelines.

Find out how this One Health strengthening project ensured simultaneous strengthening of both human and veterinary laboratories, which is not a common approach.
