International Biorisk Management Policy Workshop
HSP and the Association for Biorisk Management Pakistan (ABM) hosted the international Biorisk Management Policy workshop from October 6-8, 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop brought together high-level leadership and policymakers from Balochistan to make recommendations for the approval and implementation of the BRM policy framework for managing high-risk pathogens at veterinary laboratories in Balochistan. During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to visit with partners at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Institutes of Animal Health (NIAH) to learn from Thai counterparts about the implementation of biorisk management policies and protocols in Thailand. Partners discussed execution of biorisk management within laboratory operations, including quality control measures, safety protocols, and innovative practices. The workshop and experience sharing provided valuable insights and best practices for adaptation and implementation of BRM in Pakistan. HSP and ABM are thankful to colleagues at NIH and NIAH Thailand and hope to continue the learning partnership into the future.
