Celebrating the launch of Somalia Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) cohort 6

Welcome to our documentary: "Rebuilding the Health System in Somalia: Celebrating the Growth of the Somalia Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP)."
In this film, we explore the critical role Somalia’s FETP is playing in strengthening public health systems and responding to the unique health challenges faced by the country. With a focus on empowering local health workers, FETP provides hands-on training to detect, investigate, and respond to outbreaks, which is essential in a country that has dealt with complex emergencies and ongoing disease transmission.
You’ll hear from frontline health workers, epidemiologists, who are working together to stop the spread of diseases like the polio outbreak, which has persisted for years in Somalia. You'll learn how FETP cohorts 5 and 6 are driving change by focusing on high-risk communities, including nomadic populations and internally displaced persons.
