Development of Training Material for Public Health Management for District Level Managers, WHO SEARO

Agency : WHO SEARO

The countries in the South-East Asia Region are undergoing epidemiological and demographic transition. Most of them are facing an unfinished agenda of double burden of diseases, and the consequence of the ageing of populations.  Against the background of established diseases, many emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases have posed a serious challenge in recent times. To address these challenges, WHO, has emphasized revitalization of primary health care and translation of its values and approaches in developing and strengthening health systems. In this context the need for building skills and competencies in new public health has now been deeply realized.  The district health managers need to be equipped with these competencies and skills and re-equipped with core public health skills of epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health and basic science of prevention and control of diseases in the community.

WHO SEARO has entrusted IIHMR with the task of developing a training curriculum and materials aimed at strengthening management of public health at the district level in developing countries with a focus on emerging infectious diseases. It aims at imparting managerial competencies and skills in critical management functions, such as human resource management, planning and organizing health services and programs, logistics and supply chain management, health information and surveillance, services quality, and health communication.   A training module has been prepared for WHO SEARO.
