GHD|EMPHNET's work in Yemen started with supporting the establishment of Yemen Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) whose residents and graduates play an important role in strengthening the national health system in areas of disease surveillance, public health research, outbreak investigation, and other areas within epidemiology. The support continued in the following years and building on this achievement, GHD|EMPHNET will mobilize the FETP during 2020 to scale up alert and response activities to several outbreaks, mainly COVID-19.
GHD|EMPHNET's collaboration with Yemen was celebrated with the signing of A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Population and Health (MoPH) in early 2017 which was renewed in 2019.
GHD|EMPHNET's work in Yemen has expanded beyond FETP-related training to supporting the MoPH in strengthening the health system in areas of polio eradication and routine immunization. In 2017, the MoPH launched the Public Health Empowerment Program – Surveillance for Polio Officers (PHEP-SPO) with support from GHD|EMPHNET. The PHEP-SPO is an in-service training program designed to strengthen the capacities of governorate-level surveillance officers in the areas of surveillance and outbreak response and management, while also equipping officers with the skills needed to complement their current roles within the Ministry to help sustain polio eradication and contribute to strengthening the national health system. The first cohort was launched in 2017 and another two cohorts were launched between 2018-2019. A total of 51 enrolled participates successfully graduated from the three-month program.
GHD|EMPHNET has also contributed to the national efforts to improve routine immunization in other areas. Between 2017 and 2018, GHD|EMPHNET provided technical and logistic support to train over 400 district and community-level surveillance officers and volunteers on acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance in high-risk districts as part of a community-based initiative. GHD|EMPHNET continues to provide this support to MoPH with a plan to train 300 volunteers between 2019-2020. In addition, GHD|EMPHNET supported the MoPH towards developing the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) communication strategy.
GHD|EMPHNET also worked closely with MoPH to support the National Center of Public Health Laboratory in strengthening their institutional biosafety program in line with recognized international standards and in building a national network of biosafety experts in Yemen who are capable of making necessary improvements.
In response to the cholera outbreaks and the emergency situation in Yemen, GHD|EMPHNET supported rapid response efforts in the country in 2018 to adapt the rapid response teams (RRT) curriculum to the emergency context in Yemen and add Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) concepts. GHD|EMPHNET in collaboration with the Ministry of Water and Environment used this curriculum to conduct a WASH training of trainers.
In 2019, GHD|EMPHNET, in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration, supported the MoPHP’s National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) through conducting an assessment survey on the retention of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLNs) in selected districts in Ibb, Lahj, and Taiz. The survey provided guidance for more effective utilization of LLNs to contribute to improving district-level malaria control and to managing relevant capacity.
