MoPH’s Food Safety Lab designated as IAEA’s collaborating centre

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has designated the Food Safety Laboratories of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) as an IAEA’s international collaborating centre in food safety and quality for four years, (June 2024 to June 2028). The move marks the first-of-its-kind milestone in the Middle East region, in terms of food safety and quality through which the MoPH’s laboratories will work as an international reference for theoretical and practical trainings, so as to conduct scientific research and tours in this area. The designation was announced during the participation of MoPH’s Food Safety Department in the International Symposium on Food Safety and Control, organized recently by IAEA in Vienna, Austria.
