May 2010 Programming = REDACTED In Vietnam there numerous laboratories with Bio Safety Cabinets that are not certified at setup, regularly maintained or serviced. This represents a substantial biosafety concern for the staff working in the lab (and the surrounding environment) and a waste of resources (as most are currently not in use). When questioned, site managers always site lack of funds. CDC will identify a local laboratory equipment engineering firm with experience in BSC certification and repair. Prepaid vouchers will be secured and issued to national and provincial level sites. REDACTED is requested.
