Welcome to explore the opportunities Namibia and Southern Africa offer in the field of infectious disease diagnostics.
This webinar will highlight the region’s most acute diagnostic needs and share practical insights from Kalervo Väänänen’s work in Namibia. A new Finnish cultural and science institute, the Finnish Southern Africa Cooperation Institute (FSAI), was recently established in Namibia. The institute’s growing local network helps identify trusted collaboration partners. In addition, Finnpartnership offers funding opportunities for long-term cooperation and pilot projects.
