MSF Microbiology Laboratory in Bentiu, Unity State

In South Sudan, MSF treats patients with suspicion of bacterial bloodstream infections, often in areas with unknown levels of antimicrobial resistance. In this context, diagnosis relevance, treatment effectiveness and surveillance data are a pressing concern. In Bentiu, Unity State, MSF in collaboration with institutional, scientific and industrial partners has developed the microbiology laboratory, also known as Mini-Lab, a transportable, self-contained, quality assured, laboratory adapted to low-resource settings. In addition to increase the quality of care for patients, the Mini-Lab will also provide reliable data on antimicrobial resistance and allow the clinicians to improve treatment protocols accordingly.
