The Knowledge Exchange and Networking Unit has a mission to create spaces and opportunities for the exchange of experience and know-how. It is founded based on GHD|EMPHNET’s belief in the importance of fruitful discourse for the purpose of elevating public health status. Therefore, the Unit spearheads several initiatives that enable it to achieve this goal. These initiatives include GHD|EMPHNET’s Bi-Annual Regional Conference, which over the years has served as a space for FETP residents and graduates as well as other public health professionals to showcase their latest achievements and their work. This initiative has proven to offer opportunities for networking, and enhanced education for all participants.
Furthermore, the Unit operates an internship program. This program serves to contribute to the exchange of knowledge amongst students from across the globe, thus creating opportunities for them to gain hands-on experience in working within the Public Health field. It allows students to explore what is out there and in turn to enhance their future careers so that they best serve to overcome public health challenges facing our world. The Unit is also in charge of seeing the launch and growth of the Public Health Forum, a platform designed to facilitate open discussions and debates on issues, challenges, concerns, and priorities that play a role in elevating public health status in Jordan. The forum is set to bring together experts from all areas in public health, within a space where they can find solutions that could in the long run contribute to policy enhancement and change.
Using advancements in technology, the Knowledge Exchange and Networking Unit is also managing EpiShares, a Social Networking Platform powered by GHD|EMPHNET. The networking platform uses the best developments in social media technology in order to breakdown geographical borders and to allow people with shared interests in public health to ponder into a common space. The Knowledge Exchange and Networking Unit also supports GHD|EMPHNET’s webinar initiative to serve as a virtual dialogue opportunity that engages a broad range of audience in an online discussion space. Set to bring to the forefront of public health issues and challenges affecting the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR). You can read more about EMPHNET WEBi Series Here
Finally, and believing in the impact FETP graduates can have on overcoming challenges typical to our region, the Knowledge Exchange and Networking Unit also works to maintain strong ties with FETP Alumni in order to allow the region to benefit from their expertise.
The Unit’s ability to join public health efforts in the region and beyond in addressing population needs sets it apart and it does so by providing spaces for knowledge exchange and networking amongst the experts alongside its other interventions.
The Jordan Public Health Forum (JPHF) is a national, non-profit initiative established as a platform set to foster dialogue and to engage stakeholders across Jordan in addressing prevailing public health trends and challenges. The forum comprises members that represent health institutions, advocacy groups, decision makers, public health experts, private sector, academia, government, and non-governmental entities, in addition to other involved stakeholders from intersectoral spheres.
The Forum provides a space for the active communication and engagement of different stakeholders across Jordan to help in bridging the health system with other involved sectors towards building closer intersectoral connections. The intellectual and inclusive nature of the Forum is derived from the Forum’s dialogue, activities, and consideration of public and private sector data, all leading to better insights and actionable recommendations for policy and decision makers.
GHD|EMPHNET launched its Webinar initiative “EMPHNET WEBi Series” to serve as a virtual dialogue opportunity that engages a broad range of audience in an online discussion space. Set to bring to the forefront public health issues and challenges affecting the Eastern Mediterranean Region, GHD|EMPHNET anticipates filling a knowledge gap in the region through this initiative. This goal is to be achieved by providing an opportunity for the ongoing exchange and provision of knowledge, in addition to enhancing coordination and networking between stakeholders, health professional, and the community.
GHD|EMPHNET holds its regional conference on a biennial basis, driven by the inspiration to create a space for knowledge and experience exchange among public health experts from the Eastern Mediterranean Region and around the globe. Over the past decade, hundreds of residents and graduates from field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) to other public health individuals from the region have enriched the public health scene with insights from the field. Our conferences enabled discussions on a wide range topics that are relevant to the region. So far, six conferences have been held.
Building on the advancement of technology, GHD|EMPHNET launched its online platform, EpiShares. EpiShares is a networking platform designed to join public health professionals and experts in a space where they can express thoughts, address concerns, and discuss issues relevant to public health. It was developed and launched in 2018 to ensure a mechanism for fruitful discourse and possible collaboration. The platform was developed to respond to the demands of our current times, as in our region in particular the socio/political unrest makes meeting face to face a challenge.
EpiShares is free and open for everyone to join. Users need to sign up, in order to interact and communicate with others. EpiShares is also available as a mobile app for both Android and iOS devices and is available on Google Play and the App Store and is a multilingual platform as well, catering to six languages (English, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Urdu).
Within 24 hours, your application will be verified, and you can use all features.
