The University of Namibia's Medical School received a Biosafety Level-3 Laboratory.

The lab and its contents were made possible through the German Development Bank and other stakeholders.

UNAM's Vice Chancellor, Professor Kenneth Matengu, says the Biosafety Level 3 Lab shows the university's commitment to investing in science and technology. 

"The ability to diagnose all forms of viruses is crucial for us to be able to prevent and control outbreaks of infectious diseases such as the current COVID-19 pandemic."
