Infectious diseases continue to pose a major threat to the health of most developing nations. The COVID-19 pandemic and emergence and spread of infections like XDR-TB, Ebola, dengue, chikungunya, and avian influenza have highlighted the importance of effective global response to epidemic threats.
Diagnosis is a critical step in effective disease care and control, but many people in developing countries do not have access to high quality diagnostic tests.
In this popular course, professionals ranging from clinicians, nurses, policy-makers, researchers, implementers, advocates and health educators gather to share their rich and diverse experiences, successes, failures and lessons learned in launching, leading, important diagnostic initiatives, globally.
This course appeals to a wide range of participants including:
Limited to 100 online participants and 100 in-person participants.
