According to the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, the agency, in collaboration with the Pasteur Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, is launching a new stage of a large-scale study. The project aims to study the level of population immunity to various infections and strengthen the country's epidemiological security.
Diseases to be studied
As part of the program, specialists plan to assess how protected citizens are from diseases such as measles, pertussis, diphtheria, and chickenpox. The study will also cover the spread of certain zoonotic and natural focal infections.
Scale and previous results
The project is being implemented as part of an international program. The previous stage of the study identified population groups with insufficient immunity levels, which helped adjust disease prevention measures.
The Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic calls on the country's residents to participate in the study. According to the agency, each citizen's contribution will help obtain vital data on the state of collective immunity and strengthen the state's protection against epidemics.
Context
The study is being conducted jointly with the Pasteur Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology as part of an international program.
