Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Trust COVID-19 Epidemic Preparedness (360G-Wellcome-220757_Z_20_Z)
Malawi is at high risk of COVID-19 epidemic spread, the healthcare system is fragile and the population vulnerable to severe disease. This application proposes Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Programme preparedness activities for epidemic COVID-19 disease. These are split into three work packages: 1) Diagnostic capacity and genomics surveillance; 2) Secondary care; 3) Epidemiology and control. Strategically, we have designed our activities to develop a platform for MLW to rapidly pivot into response mode to both support the healthcare system and deliver excellent research for current and future epidemic disease threats. Key goals for this proposal are: Provide diagnostic capability in Malawi for the COVID-19 epidemic Develop clinical and epidemiological tools to manage epidemic disease in Malawi
