Mobilization of the Institut Pasteur International Network to manage the COVID-19 outbreak: case study of support provided to the Institut Pasteur de Bangui

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and increasingly rapidly thereafter, the Institut Pasteur International Network has drawn heavily on all its expertise and resources to tackle this emerging virus and its consequences, particularly through its support of institutes based in low-income countries. All Network member institutes have been identified by their health authorities as reference laboratories for COVID-19 diagnosis, putting them on the front line of the response to the outbreak. This case study from the Central African Republic focuses on the support provided by the Institut Pasteur to the Institut Pasteur de Bangui through emergency funding from the French Development Agency (AFD).
