According to the agency’s report, Congo has expressed a keen interest in obtaining Russian tests and enhancing collaboration regarding epidemic response. In response to this initiative, Rospotrebnadzor will provide Russian diagnostic drugs to other African countries.
From August 19 to 23, Russian specialists will conduct courses on infection prevention and diagnosis in Congo, with particular focus on monkeypox. Russian tests for detecting the disease have been tested and proven effective. “The diagnostic drugs are the latest development of the Pasteur St. Petersburg Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of Rospotrebnadzor,” the agency emphasized.
