On June 21, the U.S. Embassy Azerbaijan and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency contributed approximately $55,000 in resources to support the Azerbaijani Ministry of Health for research and prevention of especially dangerous pathogens. This is a part of a multi-year project to improve Azerbaijan’s ability to detect and eliminate dangerous diseases.
The U.S. Embassy worked closely with counterparts at U.S. Embassy Tashkent to coordinate diagnostic and bio-safety training at the Central Reference Laboratory in Baku from 20-23 June. The scientists compared techniques and processes in the laboratory and how to compile regional laboratory information for a national database. Further projects planned in the coming months.
