MediPIET session: The role of national FETPs in strengthening countries’ capacities for infectious disease prevention and response

event
  • Location: ESCAIDE 2022
  • Organised by: MediPIET
The aim of the session will be to highlight the role of national field epidemiology training programmes in strengthening countries’ prevention and response to infectious diseases. In the recent years, several countries in the European neighbourhood have initiated national FETPs, while the number of national programmes in the EU apart from few exceptions, have seen a decline in numbers. The aim of this session is to feature speakers from both EU and non-EU countries to share their experience in setting-up and running national FETPs, including the impact these programmes have and the relationship with regional programmes, such as MediPIET or the ECDC Fellowship.
