There are no country borders for communicable diseases (CDs). Project partners have jurisdiction and responsibility to perform CDs surveillance, diagnostic, prevention and control, and to implement actions to protect human health. However, the institutions lack equipment and other capacities, enabling them to provide timely and adequate public health services. Project intends to improve anthropozoonoses and vector-borne diseases diagnostic services, which will enable the project partners to timely detect public health events. Given the public health importance of COVID-19, the focus of the project is on improvement of the PCR diagnostic services for COVID-19. Project will also provide training for health professionals on the anthropozoonoses and vector-borne diseases diagnostic and control and inform targeted groups and public on new and improved services. Project overall objective is to improve quality and accessibility of public health services in cross-border epidemics and emergencies . Partners will be able to share information and timely notify others about CD outbreaks and other confirmed events of public health concern. Main outputs are: (1) Population of 52.430 covered by improved diagnostic services for anthropozoonoses (including COVID-19) and vector-borne diseases and (2) 265 epidemiologists, sanitary engineers/technicians and doctors in public primary health care facilities trained in prevention and control of public health cross-border threats caused by anthropozoonoses/vector-borne diseases. Target groups are public providers of primary health care and veterinarian services, local public authorities, regional public authorities, national public authorities, and general public. Cross-border cooperation is necessary by the cross-border nature of CDs themselves. Where cross- border cooperation exists, coordinated efforts create both better results and synergy. (English)
