WI State Lab of Hygiene Scientific Seminar
Strengthening the Public Health Laboratory Network in Botswana
In Botswana, where an estimated 17% of the country’s 1.8 million people are infected with HIV, inadequate laboratory systems represented a major barrier to mounting a successful HIV control program. Since 2001, WSLH Epidemiologist John Pfister has been working periodically as a consultant to assist the CDC and the Botswana Ministry of Health strengthen the nation’s public health laboratory network. John will describe the challenges, accomplishments, and ongoing activities of this international partnership.
Tuesday, Dec. 8th, Noon – 1 PM
State Lab of Hygiene, Stovall Building, 465 Henry Mall (corner of Henry Mall and Linden)
