Participants suggested that they were keen to get training in the following areas. o Laboratory services in public health o Reproductive health issues, youth rights and involvement in public health. o Introduction to research methods o Counselling as a contributor to health o Water and sanitation o Project planning, management and monitoring and evaluation o Disease surveillance o Role of media in public health and reporting on public health issues o Herbal medicines and public health In relation to further training almost all participants indicated an interest in doing a follow up course. It was agreed that interested students will work on their assignment two projects and develop them further as part of the training, that would also involve two rounds of research training including field work, report writing and reporting back. 3.4 Course certificates and closing remarks It was a moment of jubilation as the Dean of the School of Medicine of the University of Zimbabwe Prof MM Chidzonga gave the closing remarks and handed over certificates of completion of the course to the participants. He commended the progamme and the inclusion of participants from diverse backgrounds ranging from rural communities to national institutions like the parliament of Zimbabwe.
