摘　　要：Dear Dr.Jianguo Xu,The recent COVID-19 pandemic has markedly increased our awareness of the inherent dangers in managing infectious agents like SARS-CoV-2 and highlighted the crucial need to improve laboratory facilities,equipment,and training for technicians to reduce the risks associated with handling these agents.The imperative to evolve laboratory designs and adopt stringent safety guidelines in medical labs and scientific institutions has become pressing.In particular,the advent of SARS-CoV-2 as a global threat has catapulted the need for robust biosecurity measures into the forefront of scientific discourse.The potential for unintentional biological outbreaks and the malicious exploitation of biological agents by terrorist organizations have intensified the research focus on biosafety by underlining the urgent need to strengthen biosafety and biosecurity measures in laboratories.1 This letter aims to explore the biosafety and biosecurity challenges encountered within the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
