In this webinar we provided an overview of WHO’s recently published guidance for laboratory testing of dengue and WHO's evaluation of dengue diagnostics. We also heard about country experiences of establishing dengue testing, adapting the guidance to country level, and potential challenges encountered in outbreak situations.
We welcomed:
Dr Philomena Raftery (WHO Headquarters, Lyon office)
Mr Daniel Tsega (Ethiopian Public Health Institute, Ethiopia)
Dr Mauricio Vazquez (Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference InDRE, Mexico)
