Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET)
Overview
In 2009, the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET) was established to be an umbrella organization for field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) with the purpose of connecting and supporting the region’s FETPs whose epidemiological capacities prove essential, especially in the context of the EMR’s complex public health profile. In 2015, EMPHNET launched the Global Health Development (GHD) initiative to meet the growing needs and requests coming from EMR countries as a means for leveraging health outcomes.
EMPHNET works with countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) to strengthen public health systems in an effort to contribute to improved health outcomes. It aims at strengthening public health capacity with a specific focus on applied epidemiology. It is the only Public Health Network in the region and its work is an accumulation of collaborative efforts with Ministries of Health of countries in the region. It supports Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) as a mechanism for advancing public health workforce capacity in the region.
