٠٠:٠٥:٥٨Russia’s Federal Service for Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) presented its mobile laboratories at the first Russia-Africa International Conference on Combating Infectious Diseases in Kampala on Friday.
Footage features the agency's specialists demonstrating equipment of KamAZ-based mobile anti-epidemic laboratories to conference participants.
Following the presentation, Dareskedar Tsehay Sewasew, a representative of the Armauer Hansen Research Institute in Ethiopia, said that the demonstrated mobile labs were 'amazing'.
"I was very impressed by the ability of Russia to control many diseases and I think we’ll help together in such areas. And I was impressed by the mobile labs as well," she added.
Meanwhile, Wendkuuni Florencia Djigma from the University of Joseph Ki-Zerbo in Burkina Faso pointed out that the donation of equipment to fight epidemics was 'extremely important' in the context of Russian-African co-operation.
"This will enable more rapid control of infectious diseases. Mobile laboratories will be very convenient in those African countries where some areas are often out of range of the latest generation of laboratories," she said.
Russia handed over mobile laboratories to Uganda in July 2023 on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The laboratories reportedly make it possible to fight infectious diseases, including the most dangerous ones, such as Ebola, Marburg virus, Dengue, Lassa fever, which are prevalent across the African continent.
The Russian-African International Conference on Combating Infectious Diseases is taking place on April 17-19 in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. 170 delegates from 16 countries will discuss the prevention and treatment of diseases, and share experiences in countering dangerous outbreaks, new disease surveillance technologies and scientific research.
