Sri Lanka's NIID Angoda Designated WHO Collaborating Centre for Dengue Research and Training

The National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) in Angoda has received a significant international honour from the World Health Organization (WHO). The institute has been designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Training and Research on Dengue Case Management. This marks a major milestone for Sri Lanka's health sector, as NIID is the first hospital in the country to achieve this prestigious recognition. The designation acknowledges the sustained efforts and dedication of the NIID's administrative and clinical teams over many years. This new centre will serve as a hub for dengue management training and research, potentially benefiting health workers both locally and from other countries.
