Environmental Health has been recently added to GHD|EMPHNET’s public health programs to complement preventive and disease control strategies at the interface of humans, animals, and the environment. Environmental health is an area of increasing significance in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, considering the region's political instability, limited resources, and severe inequity in relation to public health.
Collaborating with relevant entities, GHD|EMPHNET works to support countries in identifying, monitoring, and responding to priority environmental risk factors. GHD|EMPHNET integrates environmental epidemiology into training programs and builds capacities through customized workshops and seminars targeting public health officers and graduates.
