Process of Selection of the Second Service Laboratory
The SADC region is privileged to have the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) as a regional Reference/Service laboratory, which has offered testing services on poultry samples for HPAI/LPAI since 2006 to other SADC countries that had not yet developed national capacity. It was, however, realized that the region needs a second Service laboratory, to assist OVI with this task.
The attached report explains in detail the process that was applied for the selection of a second Service laboratory, which culminated in the approval of the Botswana National Veterinary Laboratory by the SADC Ministers of Agriculture in May 2009 for this position.
