Division 3.2.2 Description of the project

In accordance with the recommendation of the Comprehensive Review, and as endorsed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, a national reference centre could be established on the basis of an existing research centre. However, the laboratories of that research centre lack the relevant regulatory basis, standard operating procedures for providing services to interested authorities and private-sector organisations, as well as specific high-resolution chemical analytical instruments for precise and reliable detection and identification of hazardous chemicals. The project will therefore assist with the establishment of a fully functional national reference centre, including the procurement of high-resolution chemical analytical instruments and the appropriate training of laboratory personnel.
