Training on the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis by real-time PCR, as part of the ASID research project in collaboration with CDC Atlanta, was held from 18th to 23rd February 2019 at the Centre Pasteur du Cameroun.
The National Reference Centre for Influenza (CNRG - Institut Pasteur de Bangui) brought together 23 actors involved in epidemiological influenza surveillance in a training and restitution workshop for the first quarter of 2019. The meeting was attended by the Head of the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Public Health Emergency Management Department, Dr Maurice Bawa and Dr Ernest Kalthan, Head of the Epidemiological Surveillance and Public Health Emergency Management Department. Both are newly appointed as a result of the movement in the senior ranks of the Department of Public Health and Health Personnel this year.
Dr Vincent Lacoste of the Institut Pasteur (Paris), currently on mission in the Central African Republic, is setting up a new competence at the Medical Analysis Laboratory of the Institut Pasteur de Bangui. In addition to determining the viral load of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), this new analysis aims to identify HIV resistance to antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in people infected with the virus. This mission is funded by the 5% - Channel 1 Initiative of the Global Fund managed by Expertise France.
