HCM CITY — The application of diagnostic technologies in the laboratory and artificial intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly important role in the fight against infectious diseases, especially new or emerging infectious diseases, Nguyễn Vũ Trung, director of the Pasteur Institute in HCM City, said at a scientific conference held in HCM City on Friday (November 22). The Pasteur Institute in HCM City organised the scientific conference on infectious diseases and public health issues in the post-COVID-19 era. The conference shared and updated the latest scientific research results on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases; antibiotic resistance, new vaccine research, laboratory quality management, non-communicable diseases, and other public health issues after the pandemic. “These technological advances could help us better respond to recognising new or emerging infectious diseases, and minimise their impact on public health,” he said. Many delegates also pointed out difficulties and challenges in the control and prevention of infectious diseases and discussed to find solutions together.
