Project

Implementation of a National Inventory System for Dangerous Pathogens in Burkina Faso

To reduce the risks related to the handling and/or holding of pathogens in the major national reference laboratories, CDC supported the implementation of an inventory system of dangerous pathogens. An electronic pathogen register in the form of an application was developed by the National Public Health Institute’s Central Reference Laboratory (LCR).

A guide of the use of this registry is available to 10 laboratories dealing with dangerous pathogens for a better harmonization, 20 users were trained on the electronic application for the registration of dangerous pathogens. The10 laboratories dealing with dangerous pathogens are the 9 National reference laboratories (meningitis, viral hemorrhagic fever, antimicrobial resistance, measles, mycobacteria, rotavirus, papillomavirus, influenza, HIV) and the National Laboratory for animal health.
