This project aims to support laboratory placements and leadership within the Southeast Asian and Pacific region with a focus on Vietnam, in particular Regional Animal Health Office 6 (RAHO6) in HCMC and the National Centre for Veterinary Diagnosis in Hanoi. RAHO6 is a leading laboratory for swine diseases and this project aims to provide support for advanced training on African Swine Fever and other high priority transboundary diseases to enable contributions to global technical networks and increased representation from Southeast Asia. Leading laboratories from Vietnam and Southeast Asia will be able to contribute to broader health security systems in the region through advanced surveillance techniques including increased sequencing capability, data analysis, information sharing and improved biosafety standards.
