Implementation of external quality control at tropical diseases reference laboratoriesCentro per le Malattie Tropicali (CMT)We want to assess applicability of an external quality control in the serological diagnosis of Chagas disease. Together with other laboratories of reference for Chagas disease diagnosis our aim is that of share this experience in order to improve quality of serological diagnosis in Chagas disease. This will be a pilot experience in Europe. Type of Project: Capacity Building, ImplementationType of Activity: Diagnóstico y/o biomarcadores |
Garantizando DerechosCentro per le Malattie Tropicali (CMT)The project aims to increase case detection in Italy; therefore we program to contact different communities where there is Latin American people for education/formation about health and Chagas disease. We offer disease screening for free to all people requiring it. Type of Project: Capacity Building |
