Awadalla; Sudan FETP Director, Dr. Muntasir Osman; Public Health Specialist, Dr. Shahd Osman; WHO representative in Sudan, Dr. Nima Abid; and FETP mentors and graduates.

In his speech, Dr. Muntasir Osman welcomed attendees and said that he is very satisfied with Sudan’s FETP achievements despite all of the challenges that they have faced and the outbreaks they responded to.

Furthermore, Dr. Amna Khairy spoke on behalf of the Sudan FETP graduates. She stated that the graduates’ experience throughout the program was rich and transformative. She further highlighted the importance of continuous hard work and tenacity in order to achieve one’s objectives.

From her end, Dr. Shahd Osman reflected on the uniqueness of this cohort as it’s the first to offer training sessions online, and it is also the first intermediate cohort. She stressed on her belief that Sudan FETP is able to change the face of public health.

The ceremony also witnessed speeches from Dr. Nima Abid who emphasized the continuous support for the program from WHO, and Dr. Ghada Shouna from the EMPHNET Sudan office who thanked the graduates for their hard work and efforts. She also commended them for their success despite the difficulties and challenges they faced.
