The 2nd workshop organized by the EbolaMoDRAD project was held in Dakar on 4-5 February 2016, on “Mobile Laboratories”. It was hosted by the Pasteur Institute Dakar, and co-organised by FoHM and Inserm Transfert.

The general aim of this workshop was to provide an overview from each partner involved in the mobile lab response to the outbreak in West Africa. Information was presented on the different partners’ experiences and challenges, as well as on aspects such as pre-analytical, analytical and clinical issues, lab procedures, lab infrastructures and post-endemic contexts.
