We proudly took part in this @StopTB–@USAIDGH project to help #EndTB. @MolbioDx

In #Liberia, we have enhanced disease detection networks and #AntiMicrobialResistance surveillance systems. @USAIDLiberia @embassymonrovia lr.usembassy.gov/the-united-sta…

Exciting news: Uganda's veterinary labs in Mbale & Queen Elizabeth National Park have been recommended for ISO accreditation by the South African National Accreditation System. Congrats @IDDS_Project @USAIDUganda @MinofHealthUG @ugwildlife @MAAIF_Uganda! info.path.org/l/961212/2024-…

Would you like to learn about applying a #OneHealth approach to preparations to respond to #zoonotic disease outbreaks? .@WHO has a course for you: openwho.org/courses/reprep…

Today the @sikkimgovt minister of health launched the State Action Plan on Containment of #AntiMicrobialResistance (#SAPCAR), which was developed in collaboration with IDDS and @NCDCMoHFW. #Sikkim is the fifth state in #India and first of the NE states to adopt such a plan.

In the #Philippines, #Nigeria, and other countries in the developing world, portable X-ray systems are transforming screening for #tuberculosis: bbc.com/news/business-…. @StopTB @BBC

Big news! #StopTB's introducing New Tools Project (iNTP) in Bangladesh resulted in a 20x increase in access to rapid molecular testing at sites where the NTP has implemented Truenat with @USAID @IDDS_Project support. Read how here: bit.ly/3S5F6Rj @USAID_BD @USAIDGH

.@MouicheM and others wrote for @sciencedirect on strengthening collaboration across the human, animal, and environmental sectors: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. @USAIDWestAfrica @MinsanteCMR #OneHealthAwarenessMonth

It is #OneHealthAwarenessMonth and time to revisit a blog on zoonoses and the importance of a #OneHealth approach to disease outbreak prevention and response: idsociety.org/science-speaks…

The #HisarModel engaged the private sector to improve #tuberculosis services. Find out more in our fact sheet: iddsproject.org/wp-content/upl…. @usaid_india @MoHFW_INDIA @Thyrocare @IQVIA_global

Robust and resilient health systems, with effective measures for disease detection and surveillance, are necessary to prevent (and respond to) infectious disease outbreaks: icf.com/insights/healt…. #IDEP
