The process has been well-publicized.
My comments were based on information published in 2015. I seem to have missed the data stating that no level-2 or level-3 labs were in operation there until after the level-4 lab was accredited in 2017. Do you have a link?
Accredited and put into operation in January 2018 per your Wikipedia link.
Per the citation in that section, from the WHO meeting report in December 2017, they had no BSL-2/3 facilities in operation at that time, although they had some BSL-3 workspaces prepared to go online with the BSL-4 facility.
