Key Milestones & Activities in 2016
1. A Workshop: Enhancing Regional Partnership Towards Strengthening Laboratory System in Accelerating GHSA’s Implementation: Detect 1 was
convened during 27-29 July 2016, Bangkok, Thailand, aims to, among others, identify key regional activities and implementing mechanism; and to enhance networking on laboratory across regions.
2. A half day of the Face – face Meeting of Lead Countries & Contributing
Countries was organized back to back on, 28 July 2016 aims to stimulate the discussion on accelerating an implementation and collaboration of identified key priorities of regional activities .
3. Regional Workshop in November 2016 (to be confirmed) aims to fostering
Partnerships Collaborations and
Outreach for 2016
•
Thailand requested collaboration with WHO to
materialize an implementation of JEE;
•
Collaborated with ASEAN Plus Three Laboratory
Network and other relevant regional platforms on
laboratory;
•
Invited SAARC and ASEAN including Timor Leste
to participate in the two Regional Workshops and
other regional activities;
Regional Workshop: Enhancing Regional Partnership Towards Strengthening Laboratory System in Accelerating GHSA’s
Implementation: Detect 1
OBJECTIVES
To update on national strategic plans
on National Laboratory
System
Strengthening
(LSS);
To present the regional strategic roadmap on LSS based on outputs from
May 2015 Meeting;
To propose key regional activities and
identify implementing
mechanism; and
To enhance networking on LSS across

Key Results of the Workshop
Identified key
Challenges on
national
laboratory
Strategic
Roadmap on
Laboratory
System
Strengthening
[2016-2020]
Identified on
Key Regional
Overview challenges from 13 participating
countries
- Legislative framework is required
- Increase in diagnostic capacity such as bio-banking and bio-informatics
- Establishment of EQA system and accreditation
- Monitoring and maintenance service for biomedical engineering (such as biosafety cabinet)
- Establishment of regional database for sharing information
- Linking information between human and animal health sectors
Overview challenges from panelist discussion
- Shortage of qualified and well-trained laboratory
personnel
- Resource constraints and lack of infrastructure:
peripheral areas
- Notification system for medical conditions:
sub-optimal
- Public-private partnership on laboratory
- Laboratory capacity (infrastructure, laboratory QA
programme & performance and bio- sample
management)
• GHSA Detect-1 is able to accelerate the political
commitment, stakeholder engagement, collaboration for animal and human health sectors and the utilization of GHSA roadmap & action plan.
• Providing training opportunities and capacity building
for the countries needed.
• Developing for sustainable systems & policies based on
national/regional priorities
• Enhancing Integrated laboratory networks

–
Detect 1: National Laboratory System
•
Aiming to provide
general guidance for GHSA
member countries
in developing their respective
National Roadmap on GHSA: Detect
–
1: National
Laboratory System
•
Identified key strategic components intend to
reinforce the International Health Regulations
[IHR 2005] as well as others relevant regional
strategies such as Asia Pacific Strategy for
Emerging Diseases [APSED]
•
Noting different stages of national laboratory
context, the roadmap will be further modified to be
suitable for local circumstances;
•
Served as a tool/framework for follow up progress
of the GHSA: Detect
–
1: National Laboratory
System and served as a framework for identification
of regional activities;
•
Taking consideration on synergised efforts needed
among inter
–
related of other GHSA Action
Packages such as Zoonosis, etc.
•
Joint External Evaluation
involving a combination
of domestic and independent experts
will be
promoted as a monitoring and evaluation tool
• Real-time biosurveillance with a national laboratory system and effective modern point-of-care and
laboratory- ased diagnosti s”
• Based on May 2015 Meeting : Key components of the
Roadmap for LSS were agreed among participating
countries of the said Meeting and served as a basis for formulating of this important document.
• Drafted by Thailand;
• Discussed among lead countries and key development
partners including WHO and USAID during the 4th and
5th Package Conference (Video) Call hosted by
Thailand on 31 May 2016 and 5 July 2016 respectively.
