A health threat anywhere is a health threat everywhere!

500+ public health workers in Nigeria have been trained in epidemiology through the Nigeria Field Epidemiology Training Program.

This #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay, let us expand the footprints of disease detectives and strengthen field epidemiology across the world to stop health emergencies tomorrow.

#NCDCWFED #WFED2021

The Nigeria Field Epidemiology Training Program (NFETP) is a competency-based training & service programme in public health that builds capacity in strengthening disease surveillance & response systems.

Our field epidemiologists acquire grass roots level knowledge and experience that enables them to provide decision makers with information to generate strategies for effective health interventions and programs.

#WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay #NCDCWFED

#FieldEpidemiology is key to strengthening epidemiologic and #surveillance capacity at all levels of the health system, reducing #publichealth threats, and leading to reduced deaths and infections, epidemic duration, and potential for disease spread.

#WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay

This #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay, we will be highlighting the complex, lifesaving work that field epidemiologists do and the vital role that the Nigeria Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program #NFELTP team play in protecting the health of Nigerians.
