 CfHSS with support from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established two biosafety Level II facilities at the Tamale and Sekondi Public Health Laboratories under the first year of “Enhancing Global Health Securities: Expanding Effects and Strategies to Protect and Improve Public Health Globally (GHSA)”.

The United States Ambassador to Ghana, H. E Stephanie S. Sullivan and the Director General for the Ghana Health Service Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye commissioned the structures in both Tamale and Sekondi Public Health Laboratory to be put to full use. The new laboratories will support molecular testing of epidemic-prone infectious disease including SARS-CoV-2.

Speaking at both events held at the Sekondi and Tamale Public Health laboratories on the 24th and 26th August 2021 respectively, the Ambassador emphasized the willingness of the United States government to support and strengthen Global Health Security in low-to-middle income countries as Ghana and the delight in achieving this vision through CDC.
