Strengthening and the Development of Applied Epidemiology and Sustainable Public Health Capacity through Collaboration, Program development and Implementation, Communication, and Information Sharing in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
The FETP graduates, staff and trainees are important assets and help build sustainable public health capacity in their countries.
Through public health conferences they share field epidemiology experiences and present work investigations through oral and poster presentations.
This collaboration
reinforces best practices in applied epidemiology, training, surveillance, and response and introduces new tools, concepts, and training materials.
However, the region’s FETPs can be more effective if their collaboration extends beyond scientific conferences.
Network development can enhance surveillance, investigation and response capacity globally through regular communication and exchange of information and allow for more robust response to regional and national public health threats.
In 2009, the FETPs in the East Mediterranean Region (EMRO) began to organize a network in the Middle East that partner with MOH FETP representatives, CDC and EMRO closely collaborate to strengthen existing national FETPs and regional disease surveillance.
This close collaboration and networking among programs is critical as the glob faces new and re-emerging public health threats.
The recent outbreaks of Ebola and Zika viruses clearly demonstrate the new for strong local and regional programs that can mobilize rapid response teams quickly and assist countries and global partners to control disease and strengthen public health infrastructure.
