Our high containment laboratories have round-the-clock preparedness every day of the year to conduct microbiological diagnostics of high-consequence infectious agents that pose a particular danger to human health.
One important task is to provide expert support to investigations of suspected or confirmed outbreaks of communicable diseases and to maintain laboratory preparedness needed for effective communicable disease control in the country.
We also provide operational support to the regions and municipalities during outbreaks.
Another important task is to provide expert support in the area of biosafety and biosecurity. The agency pursues this task through courses, thematic seminars, workshops, E-tools and recommendations in risk assessment and biorisk management.
