Upcoming Webinars
Departmental Scheduled Sessions
Quality of Malaria and Tuberculosis Genomic Sequencing in Malawi
Genomic surveillance is revolutionizing the way we track drug resistance and transmission patterns in Malawi. This session provides a deep dive into the quality assurance frameworks essential for high-throughput sequencing of P. falciparum and M. tuberculosis. Experts will discuss bioinformatics pipeline validation, library preparation standards, and the critical role of data integrity in informing national treatment guidelines and public health interventions.
Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) Signal Triage
This advanced technical session focuses on the critical workflow of detecting, verifying, and triaging health signals originating from non-traditional digital and community sources. Participants will explore the integration of open-source intelligence with formal DHIS2 reporting to enhance early warning systems and distinguish between noise and credible threats.
Laboratory Sample Transport Management
Efficient specimen referral systems are the backbone of high-quality diagnostic networks. This session covers the logistics and regulatory requirements for the safe and timely movement of clinical samples, cold chain maintenance, and triple-packaging standards for infectious substances.
Secondary Data Analysis for Public Health
Learn how to unlock the hidden potential within existing health management information systems to inform district-level health planning. This session covers the methodology for cleaning, aggregating, and interpreting routine surveillance data to identify seasonal trends.
