Today Roche Diagnostics and the US President\u2019s Emergency Plan for  AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) announced a public-private partnership to improve  the capacity of laboratorians and strengthen laboratory systems in  African nations highly impacted by HIV\/AIDS. Valued at $12 million over  five years, the goal of the partnership is to build institutional  capacity of regional and national partners by developing certification  programs for laboratory technicians, strengthening pre-service  curricula, and institutionalizing quality improvement in diagnostics  services. \u201cWe are honoured that PEPFAR has partnered with us and we look  forward to a successful working relationship. Our work with PEPFAR has  demonstrated how the private sector can effectively apply its expertise  to have a positive impact on healthcare in the regions most heavily  burdened by diseases,\u201d said Knut Seifert, country manager Roche  Diagnostics South Africa. The partnership between Roche and PEPFAR will accelerate the training  of laboratorians specifically related to in-vitro diagnostics with the  aim of strengthening laboratories and expanding the trained laboratory  work force. The PEPFAR contribution to the effort will be implemented  through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a  global leader in laboratory systems strengthening. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roche.com\/media\/media_releases\/med-cor-2012-12-04.htm\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: Global |  Company: Roche | Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roche.com\/media\/media_releases\/med-cor-2012-12-04.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Roche<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roche and the US President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) partner to strengthen laboratories medicine training and knowledge on the African continent.
