HSP Fellow Dr. Wafaa Al-Hussainni Holds Virtual Biosecurity Training In Iraq

HSP Fellow Dr. Wafaa Al-Hussainni, Lecturer and Doctor at Ibn Sina University’s College of Medicine in Baghdad, Iraq, recently completed a three-day virtual training via Google Hangouts on both biological and chemical safety and security. The training, which occurred from April 14th to 16th, covered topics like biorisk management, biosafety, biosecurity, chemical safety, chemical security, biocontainment, hazard identification and mitigation, as well as infectious and chemical waste management. The post-course test average for the 23 participants was 84%. More courses are planned to cater to the strong demand for virtual training in Iraq. Great job Dr. Wafaa!
