Abstract

The project will help improve the protection provided to people in the IOC member states by reinforcing regional health safety. The project's goals are to strengthen and sustain the implementation system of the SEGA One Health Network as well as consolidate and develop the network's activities. It has four components: - Reinforcing diagnostic and epidemic surveillance capacities (tests and laboratories) - Preventing and controlling infections, and if needed treating the infected (providing equipment and medication) - Developing their communication capacities - Strengthening partnerships in particular with the Indian Ocean Regional Intervention Platform (PIROI) and the Institut Pasteur of Madagascar.
