Association for Biorisk Management Pakistan
The Association for Biorisk Management (ABM) Pakistan is a national, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization registered with the Registrar of Societies and Joint Stock Companies, Peshawar, under the Societies Act of 1860. ABM holds a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Government of Pakistan, and is PCP certified, affirming its credibility and legal authority to operate across the country.
Since its establishment in 2016, ABM has emerged as one of Pakistan's leading specialized organisations in biorisk management, health security, and One Health. The organisation brings together a cohort of highly skilled professionals with expertise spanning biorisk assessment, disease surveillance, zoonoses control, climate change adaptation, community development, and policy formulation.
ABM's staff has received international training and certifications from SANDIA National Laboratories (USA) and other globally recognized institutions, equipping the team with advanced competencies in health security, biosafety, biosecurity, biological waste management, and the One Health framework — which recognizes the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health.
ABM has established collaboration with more than 60 partner organizations across Pakistan to strengthen laboratory systems, biological risk management, zoonotic disease prevention and control, disease surveillance, community engagement, and One Health initiatives. These partnerships provide ABM with a nationwide operational network, with geographic coverage across all provinces and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
ABM operates through a four-dimensional development approach centered on integration, participation, impact, and transparency. This model drives cost-effective, community-responsive programming across Health Security, One Health, Food Security, Agriculture, Livestock, Emergency Response, Climate Change, and Disaster Risk Reduction.
