General information

The Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET) has developed through collaborative efforts to provide support for public health practice by promoting and strengthening Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Driven by a shared vision to create a regional public health workforce that strives to improve the health status of populations in the region, EMPHNET continues to seek new opportunities for creating momentum for change. EMPHNET’s ultimate aim is to contribute to enhancing populations’ health status by promoting capabilities through training in applied epidemiology; improving the surveillance capacities and investigation of disease outbreaks; partnering and exchanging expertise with associations, institutions, networks and organizations that hold similar views; participating in public health interventions and fulfilling needs and situations; and promoting and supporting applied public health research in response to public health challenges and changes.
