Abstract
Clean air technology management is one of the key requirements in research. Maintaining the technology is a major challenge in hot and humid climate like The Gambia. Situated at the mouth of the River Gambia, Medical Research Council Unit, The Gambia has been constantly improving its clean air systems that support and ensure safety around the medical research facilities. The containment laboratories at the MRC Unit, The Gambia are now appropriately redesigned to prevent and control the exposure of laboratory workers, those around the labs and the environment to the biological agent used. PuriCore International in collaboration with local technologist at the MRC Unit, The Gambia were able to overcome the challenges by designing an efficient system and provided training for users as well as technologist to maintain the facility.
