The Global Health Security

Biolabs Red Services has pioneered diagnostic-driven antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in Uganda, integrating laboratory data into hospital prescribing and surveillance systems to enhance patient safety and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The company has established clinician–laboratory interface meetings, functional AMS committees, and Medicine and Therapeutics Committees (MTCs) across regional referral hospitals. Its interventions include Point Prevalence Surveys (PPS), prescription and post-prescription audits, and data-quality reviews that strengthen AMR reporting through WHONET and ALIS platforms. In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PATH, and the Global Fund, Biolabs has contributed to developing national stewardship frameworks, standard operating procedures, and monitoring tools. By embedding diagnostic stewardship into clinical decision-making, Biolabs ensures that microbiology results guide rational antibiotic use, improve therapeutic outcomes, and inform national AMR policy and planning.

In partnership with ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), international organizations, and public and private stakeholders, Biolabs Red Services seeks to accelerate progress toward a continent that is safe and secure from infectious disease threats. The company promotes Global Health Security as an international security priority, supporting national and regional systems to:
prevent and reduce the likelihood of outbreaks—whether natural, accidental, or intentional;
detect public health threats early to save lives; and
respond rapidly and effectively through coordinated, multi-sectoral, and international collaboration.

Through these efforts, Biolabs Red Services is positioned to work with partner countries and subnational entities on nine strategic objectives to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats—strengthening surveillance, laboratory networks, workforce capacity, emergency operations, and risk communication systems that collectively advance Africa’s preparedness and resilience under the Global Health Security Agenda.

Biolabs Red Services is set to work with partner countries and subnational entities on nine specific objectives to prevent, detect, and effectively respond to infectious disease threats:

1. Prevent the emergence and spread of antimicrobial drug-resistant organisms and emerging zoonotic diseases, and strengthen international regulatory frameworks governing food safety.
2. Promote national biosafety and biosecurity systems.
3. Reduce the number and magnitude of infectious disease outbreaks.

1. 4. Launch, strengthen and link global, national and subnational networks for real-time biosurveillance.
   5. Strengthen the global, national and subnational norm of rapid, transparent reporting and sample sharing.
   6. Develop and deploy novel diagnostics and strengthen laboratory systems.
   7. Train and deploy an effective biosurveillance workforce.

1. 8. Develop an interconnected global, national and subnational network of Emergency Operations Centers and multi-sectoral response to biological incidents.
   9. Improve global, national and subnational access to medical and non-medical countermeasures during health emergencies.
