National sequencing strategy

Strengthening of the PHC genomic sequencing unit and establishment of a cross-cutting bioinformatics platform to analyse genomic sequencing data from high-priority bacterial and viral pathogens, including influenza, HIV and antimicrobial resistance

Genomic surveillance expanded; next-generation sequencing capacity built for 36 specialists across four oblasts (Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia); next-generation sequencing introduced for TB drug-resistance surveillance.
