Moving forward, the continent needs to set a new trajectory in healthcare development that will prevent future Ebola outbreaks from reaching the 2014 scale, as well as tackle the other disease challenges that Africa disproportionately carries. The tools, guidance and vision they provide should become the blueprint for laboratory capacity necessary to combat disease outbreaks in Africa and for strengthening health security programmes internationally.	cache/ajlm-579.htm	txt/ajlm-579.txt
