Project

Strengthening Health and Biosecurity in Tanzania by Biodetection Capacity Building – Phase II

The project aims at preventing unintentional and intentional spread of infectious diseases by supporting biosecurity projects in Tanzania. Efforts to identify microbes that cause infectious diseases are vital to any nation’s public health system. The Finnish Centre for Biothreat Preparedness (BUOS)/Centre for Military Medicine administer and implement biosecurity project that strengthens the know-how of making diagnosis of infectious diseases in Tanzania. The project is a 5-year extension for a project begun in 2014 and will terminate in the end of 2023. The Tanzania Veterinary Laboratory Agency, belonging to public health sector, continues as the main collaborator.

The main objectives of the project are:

  • Build local capacity on detection of biothreat pathogens and diagnosis of infectious diseases,
  • Develop a diagnostic system based on local needs, suitable for field use,
  • Train and collaborate with experts and authorities, and
  • Raise local knowledge and awareness in biosecurity and biosafety.
