The
Niedersächsisches Landesgesundheitsamt (NLGA)
As the central specialist authority of the state of Niedersachsen, based in Hannover, the NLGA has been promoting and protecting the health of the population since 1995. It plays a key role in the prevention, monitoring and control of infectious diseases such as influenza, COVID-19 and RSV[1][3], offers travel medicine advice including WHO-licensed yellow fever vaccinations[1] and supports the public health service through further training[2].
Its core tasks include microbiological and environmental medical examinations, the evaluation of epidemiological data and advising health authorities and medical facilities[2][3]. The NLGA operates an S3 laboratory for highly pathogenic pathogens[1] and coordinates crisis management in the event of a disaster via the Zentrum für Gesundheits- und Infektionsschutz (ZGI)[2].
Mission und Werte
The NLGA pursues evidence-based healthcare, relies on transparent communication through newsletters and social media[1][3] and strengthens cooperation between authorities, hospitals and nursing facilities. With the Epidemiologischen Krebsregister Niedersachsen (EKN)[2], it is also driving forward research into non-communicable diseases.
Aktuelle Schwerpunkte include the surveillance of respiratory diseases[1], the monitoring of drinking water quality[3] and the development of prevention strategies. Through further training for medical personnel and public awareness campaigns, the NLGA focuses on sustainable health promotion in line with modern public health standards[2][3].
As a competent partner in Niedersachsen - the "green heart of Germany" - the NLGA combines scientific expertise with practical solutions in order to create resilient health structures in the long term.
