Epidemic Preparedness and Response in Africa | Guidelines for the Decentralization of Laboratory Capacity
recommended
New
The decentralization of laboratory capacities is a critical strategy for improving epidemic preparedness and response in Africa. Centralized systems often delay case confirmation, hinder timely interventions, and exacerbate the impact of outbreaks, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
Thi
...
s Guidelines outlines a structured approach to decentralization, focusing on:
Strategic Goals: Strengthening laboratory capacity at subnational levels to ensure timely detection and control of epidemic-prone diseases.
Guiding Principles: Equity, country ownership, multisectoral collaboration and evidence-based decision-making.
Implementation Framework: Practical steps for planning, executing, and sustaining decentralized diagnostic networks, with intra- and post-implementation reviews for continuous improvement.
Integration: Alignment with existing surveillance, case management and infection prevention and control (IPC) systems, with a focus on the One Health approach.
While the Guidelines is informed by the Mpox outbreak response, it is adaptable to other priority diseases and aligned with the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), the Africa CDC Strategic Plan (2022-2027), and the WHO Health Security Framework.

Préparatiom et la riposte aux Épidémies er Afrique guide de Décentralisation des capacités de Laboratoire
recommended
New
L’augmentation en fréquence et en ampleur des urgences de santé publique en Afrique met en évidence
l’importance cruciale d’un dépistage précoce, d’une intervention rapide et d’un accès équitable aux
capacités de laboratoire. Les systèmes centralisés se sont souvent révélés
...
insuffisants, notamment
dans les zones reculées ou mal desservies, entraînant des retards dans la confirmation des cas et
réduisant l’efficacité des mesures de contrôle des épidémies.
La décentralisation des capacités de laboratoire constitue une stratégie transformative pour combler
ces lacunes. En rapprochant les examens diagnostiques des points de prestation de soins, les États
Membres de l’Union Africaine peuvent détecter les épidémies plus tôt, réagir plus efficacement et
renforcer la confiance du public dans les systèmes de santé.
Ce document propose un cadre global pour aider les États Membres à concevoir, mettre en œuvre
et pérenniser des réseaux de diagnostic décentralisés. Il met l’accent sur l’équité, l’appropriation
nationale, la collaboration multisectorielle et l’intégration avec les autres fonctions du système de santé.
De plus, il souligne l’importance du maintien des normes de qualité dans les contextes décentralisés,
en recommandant la mise en place de dispositifs de contrôle qualité adaptés, de mécanismes de
supervision ciblés et l’harmonisation avec les cadres nationaux d’assurance qualité.
Africa CDC, l’OMS et leurs partenaires restent déterminés à soutenir les États Membres à travers une
assistance technique, des plateformes de coordination et la mobilisation de ressources. Ensemble,
nous pouvons bâtir un écosystème de diagnostic résilient, réactif et inclusif, protégeant la santé de
toutes les communautés africaines.
