CPGH – ICRH Laboratory Inauguration | ICRH

 
On January 31st 2009 Prof. Marleen Temmerman and Dr M. J. Othigo officially opened the CPGH – ICRH Research Laboratory. The CPGH-ICRH Research Laboratory was built in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Kenya, through Coast Provincial General Hospital who kindly offered to refurbish the old kitchen on the hospital compound. The construction started in 2007 and the work was finalized in June 2008. This was made possible by funding from the International Centre for Reproductive Health (ICRH) and Ghent University with assistance of the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP), and the Agence Nationale de Recherche Sur le SIDA (ANRS), France.
 
Like other research laboratories, the CPGH-ICRH Lab has been empowered to process samples collected in different studies. The lab has a vision to build local capacity and to introduce newly developed or implemented methods in routine testing.
