Project Summary

With the support of U.S Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP), INDOHUN is collaborating with Tufts University to help establish and strengthen the One Health Laboratory Network (OHLN) in 2017. The project is expected to link university laboratory through national policy on One Health Laboratory Network. Under the coordination of Government of Indonesia, OHLN supports the rapid identification of zoonotic diseases emerging among human and animal populations, and to prevent the spread of infectious disease. INDOHUN is start the project by establishing the network among university laboratories with the following activities:

1. Setting up working groups of OHLN.
2. Desktop assessment to potential university laboratories members.
3. Assessment visit to selected university laboratories members.
4. Workshop: Identification of current capacities, needs and resources analysis for current OH laboratory network members.
5. Promoting the development and implementation of national and international laboratory guidelines (QA, QMS, BRM).
6. In-service laboratory training on Good Clinical Laboratory Practice and Basic Biosafety and Biosecurity.
7. Workshop with Government of Indonesia: Identify EID and Zoonotic regional disease priority and regional laboratory (MoH, MoA, University) capacity.

Project Summary

With the support of Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP), INDOHUN is working with Tufts University and CRDF Global to help establish and strengthen OHLN and link university and government laboratories.

This initiatives are expected to support the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and relevant authorities in the establishment of nationwide surveillance and control strategies, and to share resources.

The network also upgraded biosafety and biosecurity practices and laboratory standards of those most in need, and institute supplemental training of personnel through workshops, lab meetings, and refresher courses.

Program Highlight in 2018 – 2019 :

1. Initiate the development of laboratory network and biorisk management national regulation concept.
2. Initiate the establishment of national biosecurity and biodefense unit concept.
3. Consolidate the laboratory member, and develop laboratory network information system.
4. Developing laboratory assessment tool for biorisk management and conducting laboratory biorisk management mapping.
5. In-service training for laboratory personnel on biorisk management professional certification.
6. Strengthening the implementation of university laboratory biorisk management system by developing rector regulation and decree.
7. Developing biorisk management technical guideline, SOP and module.

Project Summary

Promoting laboratory biosecurity and biosafety in One Health context means we have to hold onto values that come from One Health as well.

After the implementation of several programs since 2017, several initiatives need to be continued and pushed forward, especially in strengthening the capability of university-based laboratory members in applying the biorisk management regulation that has been developed during Y2.

In addition, the continuation of advocacy activity to central government was the main concern during Y3 to escalate the effort of biorisk management implementation based on Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), Joint External Evaluation (JEE) results, and Indonesia National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) 2020 – 2024.

Developed Strategies of OHLN Year 3:

1. Promoting the establishment of OHLN and biorisk management national system and policy concept
2. Initiate the establishment of university laboratory information system
3. Promoting and strengthening selected university to implement institutional laboratory biorisk management
4. In-service training: Professional biorisk management

Achievements
