Airports and Air-travel

Dear all,

Our team(WHO/CPI/Transport, Tourism& Mass Gatherings) is looking for a full-time consultant for an initial period of 6 months from 1 March to 31 August 2018 to support the implementation of projects/activities aiming at strengthening capacities at points of entry for better preparedness in vulnerable and resource-limited countries within the framework of the International Health Regulations (2005) and to participate in the production of technical guidance and tools, mobilization of expertise (training) and networking.

Dear Colleagues,

Another year has almost passed and we will soon be having to remember to date our Ship Sanitation Certificates with 2018!

This is my last day in the office until 3 January 2018, so whatever celebrations you mark over the next few weeks, may I take this opportunity to thank you all for your contributions and wish you a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.

PAGNet is looking forward to some new activities and initiatives in 2018 and we look forward to sharing these with you over the coming months.

Best Wishes,

Dear All,

As well as updates on the WHO website (which can be found at http://www.who.int/csr/disease/plague/en/ ), the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has circulated the below letter (with the input of WHO) for advice to the maritime sector.

Hello Everyone,

I have received a query from a colleague asking if there are any e-learning courses about Public Health (generic or maritime) that can be accessed for free.

Beyond those offered by WHO, SHIPSAN ACT, US CDC (Food Safety), GLOBallast and FutureLearn there are no others that spring to mind.

Can anyone offer other suggestions?

Best Regards,

Martin Walker, Facilitator, Ports and Shipping Group
