Regionally Focused, Globally Connected
Gauged by global health, our contributions to the betterment of public health in the EMR resonate beyond the borders of one region. In this report for 2021/2022, we share these regionally focused yet globally connected contributions to several areas of public health: field epidemiology, polio and routine immunization, disease surveillance, biorisk management, the one health approach, public health emergency management, non-communicable diseases, and research.

Surveillance<br />
EMPHNET overcomes challenges that hinder the<br />
effective implementation of disease surveillance<br />
by creating cooperation and synergy among<br />
different sectors.<br />
In the EMR, technical weaknesses, political<br />
instability, and economic challenges hinder the<br />
effective implementation of disease surveillancechallenges<br />
which the countries are undertaking<br />
efforts to overcome. EMPHNET is a recognized<br />
organization within these efforts. Improving<br />
disease surveillance, across different programs<br />
and through different endeavors, is a key<br />
component of EMPHNET’s strategy. We possess<br />
a record of strengthening surveillance systems<br />
for immunization programs, infectious disease<br />
control and prevention, zoonotic diseases, NCDs,<br />
and AMR. We cite specific efforts: providing<br />
technical support, building capacities, establishing<br />
new surveillance systems, and implementing<br />
different and innovative types of surveillance and<br />
registry systems. This year, we built experience<br />
and achievement, expanding into support for<br />
new countries in strengthening various types of<br />
surveillance.<br />
