Abstract:
The Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) Strategic Plan Management and the Ethiopian
Action Plan for Health Security are planning to construct and equip Biosafety Level Three
(BSL 3) National Reference Laboratory (NRL) complex building to improve the capacity and
status of the institute to conduct specialized testing with a focus on the diagnosis of emerging
and re-emerging lethal pathogens. The proposed NRL building will be a 7-story building
(G+6) that fulfills the minimum requirements for the height of buildings in the designated
area.
