QUALITY LABORATORY TESTING-TRAINING PROJECT IN BENIN (PROJECT LSV)

2020

Period :

2020-2022

The project aims to strengthen capacities for "Laboratory quality testing - training project
in Benin 2021-2022" in order to contribute to the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and improve
the management of sepsis.

1. Context

Afin de contribuer à la lutte contre la résistance aux antimicrobiens (AMR) et d'améliorer
