Biological Threat Reduction Capacity Building in Ghana

This project aims to mitigate a range of serious biological threats posed by pathogens of bioterrorism concern (e.g. anthrax, African Swine Fever, foot-and-mouth disease) through the provision of hands-on, specialized training to Ghana’s Veterinary Services Directorate in the use of biological containment facilities and in the detection, handling and proper storage of high consequence pathogens. The impact of this project is addressed in an article on how Canada paved the road for COVID-19 testing in Ghana.
