HHIMS Implementation Begins at NIID

Ebola Preparedness and Disaster Drill at NIID

The National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) conducted an Ebola Preparedness and Disaster Drill on 25 August 2026 to strengthen institutional preparedness and response capacity.

The drill focused on enhancing isolation practices, improving staff knowledge and practical skills, and strengthening infection prevention and control measures. It also provided an opportunity to identify gaps and further upgrade the NIID Disaster Management Plan, including emergency response and coordination among relevant units.

The exercise contributed to strengthening NIID’s readiness to respond effectively to Ebola and other high-consequence infectious disease threats.
