COVID-19 Testing Technologies

At theNational Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases, we specialize in forging connections between those who generate and those who use infectious disease public health knowledge. From policy to practice, we’re able to build bridges between those with infectious disease questions, those with answers, and those in a position to act on the evidence. One of six National Collaborating Centres for Public Health funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, our host organization is the University of Manitoba.AuCentre de collaboration nationale des maladies infectieuses, nous sommes les experts de l’établissement de liens entre ceux qui génèrent les connaissances sur les maladies infectieuses, en termes de santé publique, et ceux qui utilisent ce savoir. Des politiques aux pratiques, nous avons la capacité de jeter des ponts entre ceux qui se posent des questions au sujet des maladies infectieuses, ceux qui peuvent répondre à ces questions, et ceux qui sont en mesure de passer concrètement à l’action en se fondant sur les données probantes. CCNMI est un des six centres de collaboration nationale financés par l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada. Notre organisation hôte est l’Université du Manitoba.
