BRAP would like to invite you to join the 2nd BRAP Council Biosafety Symposium and Free CPD Seminar for Ilocos Region, with the theme “Addressing the Evolving Needs for Biorisk Management”, on August 5, 2023, at La Jenns Hotel in Metro Vigan Ilocos Sur, from 12 NN to 6 PM.

To register, please contact the pointperson indicated in the flyer.

Course description:

This 4-hour training/workshop will address the country’s biorisk management needs, particularly for those who work in biocontainment facilities.

The increased demand for improved disease detection and control has increased diagnostic and research capacity. Increases in infectious disease detection capacity, on the other hand, have not always been accompanied by increases in biosafety and biosecurity capacity, particularly in low-resource countries. Numerous obstacles impede the development or expansion of sustainable capacity in low-resource countries for biosafety and biosecurity management.

Using the WHO checklist, each participant will identify different gaps in the Biosafety program. Long-term capacity development solutions must be identified, funded, and implemented collaboratively. A collaborative effort is required to develop solutions that are appropriate for the specific needs and resources available in the institution.
