Ciheb Supporting Colleagues in African Nations with COVID-19 Response and HIV Care Continuity
Coordinated global effort is essential in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, and low-resource countries on the African continent are particularly vulnerable and in need of additional support. In the past, these nations have relied on their PEPFAR-leveraged health systems to tackle Ebola, avian flu, cholera, and other outbreaks. The same is being done today with respect to COVID-19, and Ciheb is playing a key role in furthering that effort.
Ciheb has conducted a population-based serosurveillance study in Nigeria to estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in communities, household transmission, and the proportion of subclinical infections. In addition, Ciheb oversees molecular labs in SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics in several countries and is building readiness capacity and awareness for vaccination.
