Republican Center for Biological Safety will be created in Belarus

Prevention of biological threats is a priority issue for the world community. In order to reduce the risks of the emergence and spread of pathogenic biological agents on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, the Council on Safety in the Biological Sphere will be created in the country.

To coordinate interagency cooperation in the field of scientific, information, analytical and methodological support, the Republican Center for Biological Safety will be created on the basis of the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology.

Ensuring biological safety makes an important contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 3, 15 and other SDGs.
