In a bid to enhance outbreak response and strengthen public health interventions, the University of Ghana School of Public Health, in partnership with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, has organized a specialized training programme for Medical Laboratory Scientists.
The short course on Applied Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases aims to equip participants with cutting-edge molecular diagnostic techniques, thereby boosting health security and disease surveillance capabilities.
Molecular epidemiology plays a vital role in modern disease surveillance, enabling the rapid detection, tracking, and characterization of infectious disease outbreaks.
To build the capacity of Medical Laboratory Scientists, the initiative emphasizes hands-on training in genetic pathogen characterization and outbreak detection.
