Kenya is set to make major milestones in the scientific and healthcare research landscape, thanks to an ambitious programme targeting to accredit local biobanks.
In a partnership between the Kenya Government and a United Kingdom-based standard institution, the British Standards Institution (BSI), local researchers will benefit from intensive training on accreditation, and the local biobanks will be internationally recognised.
A three-day training workshop, which started in Nairobi on Tuesday, is targeting all biobanks under the custody of the Government and is being implemented by the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) and BSI.
