Public Health Emergencies Preparedness
  • PIP Framework
  • Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

  • To establish and strengthen influenza surveillance systems, knowledge and capacities for a timely and appropriate response to pandemic influenza

  • Knowledge Co-Creation program (Online Training):Participants acquire the knowledge and skills for achieving UHC, for monitoring and evaluation methods of TB control, for identifying major problems of their national TB control program and for developing a proposal to strengthen that program based on The End TB Strategy.

  • Knowledge Co-Creation program (Online Training):Participants acquire knowledge and skills on culture, DST, and new diagnostic techniques through hands on training, and develop their laboratory management skills for laboratory managers in order to strengthen rapid diagnosis.
