Education and Training
In addition to its research role, the Botswana-Harvard HIV Reference Laboratory serves as a training facility, helping to build the professional infrastructure of Botswana by training the nation’s future researchers and laboratory technicians. As expressed by His Excellency President Festus Mogae, "this laboratory stands as a tangible example of this Partnership, and it forges a permanent link between health and education, two sectors that are pivotal in our fight against the HIV and AIDS epidemics".
