The sequencers are to build the capacity of the National Public Health Reference laboratory in genomic analysis of pathogens that cause diseases of public health importance and particularly of SARS-CoV 2, which has currently the cause of the global pandemic, COVID-19. Currently, the only a few facilities have the ability and capacity to do sequencing in Ghana and it is important that a facility under the Ghana Health Service such as the National Public Health Reference Laboratory is given the capacity to also do so.
