Establishment of a digital laboratory information system

PD Dr.

The Hirsch Institute for Tropical Medicine at Düsseldorf University Hospital has been working with the Assela Teaching and Referral Hospital at Arsi University since 2010. Both institutions are founding members of the AMR network and are establishing a digital laboratory information system to collect and merge AMR data from all African partner sites. 
Gefördert wird das Projekt durch das GIZ-Regionalprogramm Hochschul- und Klinikpartnerschaften in Afrika (HKP). Ziel des Programms ist, Gesundheitsfachkräfte aus- und weiterzubilden und die Spitzenforschung im Bereich der globalen Gesundheit zu stärken.
