Detecting health threats in the border provinces of Angola

In mid-2023, Angola’s Ministry of Health, with support from World Health Organization (WHO), through funding from the European Union, developed a comprehensive training programme aimed at upskilling 35 Extended Programme on Immunization (EPI) professionals.

The training helped provide them with tools to better combat the entry of diseases from neighbouring countries, while also providing them with the skills that underpin Angola’s new municipal Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) plans.
