Episode 68 - Rita Figueira & Andreas Hoefer - A Network of Laboratory Excellence

On today's episode, we discuss EU Reference Laboratories (EURLs) with Andreas Hoefer from ECDC and Rita Figuera from the European Commission’s DG SANTE.

They explain the vital role these laboratories play, how both organisations support national labs, ensure test results are reliable across borders, and strengthen Europe's ability to respond to health threats as part of the European Health Union.

Find all information on the EU Reference Laboratories for public health on ⁠EC pages⁠.
