Key Challenges In sample importation to provide diagnostic service to OIE Member Countries In techinical training to Member Countries In laboratory network with other Reference Centers
Challenge 1 In sample importation The official permit to import biosamples is given on case-by-case basis according to GAQSIQ s regulations All importing samples must pay tariffs (even they are free) according to GAC s regulations. Therefore, precedures are time-consuming and costly for us to receive samples outside China, eventually prevents us from providing diagnostic service to OIE Member Countries GAC GAQSIQ General Administration of Customs of China General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China
Challenge 2 In techinical training Techinical training is very important to help member countries build up it s laboratory capacity. Demands and requests increasing, but no program and funding in place. Nepal in 2012
Challenge 3 In network The laboratory network is weak to facilitate the sharing and exchanging of knowledge and expertise among OIE RLs.
Suggestions For challenge 1,we continue to solicit MoA to coordinate with GAQSIQ and GAC. For challenge 2, I would suggest to establish OIE fund to specially support technical training in OIE RLs for personnels of the Member Countries For challenge 3, I would suggest to establish annual meeting mechanism for Regional OIE RLs, which can be organized in turn in the country of each RL under the support of OIE and/or host country.
