About This Course
The Global Health Security, Public Health Systems & Emergency Preparedness Training Course is a premium, competency-based programme designed to equip public health professionals, policymakers, veterinarians, environmental scientists, development practitioners, researchers, and health system leaders with advanced competencies in One Health, global health security, public health systems, zoonotic diseases, pandemic preparedness, disease surveillance, health systems strengthening, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), emergency preparedness, climate and health, food safety, and environmental health. Participants develop practical expertise in integrated surveillance systems, outbreak preparedness and response, International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), health security governance, digital health technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), epidemic intelligence, and evidence-informed public health decision-making. Through executive masterclasses, multidisciplinary case studies, simulation exercises, policy laboratories, and strategic capstone projects, participants strengthen institutional resilience, improve multisectoral collaboration, and build sustainable health systems capable of preventing, detecting, and responding to complex public health threats.
