Myanmar - Myammar health agency receives research grant from Temasek Foundation

SINGAPORE: Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory and Temasek Foundation have started technical cooperation in partnership with Myanmar's National Health Laboratory.

Under the partnership, both sides will develop capabilities in the area of laboratory biorisk management of emerging infectious diseases.

The programme will be funded by a grant of S$200,000 from Temasek Foundation.

An initial group of 25 participants has been selected by their respective agencies to take part in the first phase of a series of training programmes.

They will pass on the knowledge and experience to their peers and other technical staff in Myanmar after the training has been completed.

This programme follows the success of a similar training programme launched with Laos in 2010.

A statement from Temasek Foundation says the setting up of these training programmes will help to build new foundation for future partnership between Singapore and Myanmar.
