Country report use (14 comments)
ā¢ Benchmarking with other EU countries (6/14)
ā¢ Areas for attention and strengths particularly useful (8/14)
ā¢ Some examples :
ā āAcknowledging and discussing problems for planning
future actions and reassurance of strengthsā
ā āFramework for improvements (e.g. quality NRLs)ā
ā āFocus on low capability areasā¦ā
ā āBroad overview of national situationā
ā āDesign/evaluation of national performance indicatorsā
ā āSystematic way to monitor change annuallyā
9. 8
Report follow-up (6 comments)
ā¢ ECDCs role in supporting NMFP advocate areas of attention
to decision makers and national laboratory community
ā¢ Examples :
ā āECDC active approach to decision makers in MS would be
useful in cases where clear that major improvements are
needed ā¦ in legislation, nominations of reference
institutions, preparations of different national plans...ā.
ā āStrongly recommend ECDC support MS focal points
(epi+lab) to be active members of working groups in the
MoH (ā¦to influence decision making and working plans)ā
ā āStrongly advise decision makers to accomplish agreed
tasksā
10. 9
In your opinion, which areas could ECDC
develop new activities in addressing

issues?
ā¢ 21/22 respondents provided at least 1 suggestion
ā¢ ca. 60 comments in total that were grouped for presentation
as follows:
ā Information Broker;
ā Technical support and advice;
ā Strategy and advocacy;

countriesā
ā āDevelop catalogue of lab tests available in EU
laboratoriesā¦EULabServe progressā
ā¢ Recommendations on best practices
ā āCollaboration between epidemiological structures and
laboratories for outbreak investigation, surveillance of
VPD and vector-borne infections, molecular epidemiologyā
12. 11
ECDC To Do list:
Technical support and advice
ā¢ Public health application of molecular methods
ā āassist with the transition to whole genome sequencing
