“Outbreaks have no borders. Our response shouldn’t either.#ACTPREP is timely to expand this regional initiative,”Dr.@SusanNabadda

She called for regional sample referral network that strengthens cross border preparedness & enables countries respond to outbreaks as one network.

Outbreaks do not stop at borders—and preparedness shouldn’t either.

ACT-PREP is exploring how public health reference laboratories across countries can be interconnected, with regional bodies .

“Let us make sure that when the next outbreak comes, we are not starting from zero.”

That is the message at the heart of ACT-PREP: research must not end with generating evidence. Knowledge must move into policy, strengthen health systems and ultimately improve the lives

@DKyabayinze : “Outbreaks continue to test our systems & our response. We can no longer wait for outbreaks, we need lab systems that can respond when they occur. #ACTPREP is an investment in people & systems Africa will need when next outbreak comes to detect & respond.”
