We’re excited to celebrate a new publication from our Global Action in Healthcare Network (GAIHN) team!
The study, published in Microbiology Spectrum, examines healthcare-facility-based SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance in two tertiary-care hospitals in Brazil. Analyzing nearly 1,000 samples, the team identified 113 distinct SARS-CoV-2 lineages and demonstrated how healthcare-based surveillance can provide valuable insight into viral evolution and circulating lineages even in settings with limited sequencing capacity.
This work highlights the importance of strengthening genomic surveillance within healthcare settings as a complement to community-based approaches.
Congratulations to all the authors and partners who contributed to this important work!
