The Hellenic National Public Health Organization (EODY) actively participated in the training activity held in Spetses from September 22 to October 10, as part of the Greek Field Epidemiology Training Program, as well as within the framework of Work Package 6 Comprehensive Training Framework of the Collaborative Surveillance Network (CSN) program, thereby strengthening the national contribution to European public health initiatives.
During the three-week course, EODY trainees had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in key areas of field epidemiology, such as the operation and evaluation of infectious disease surveillance systems, the implementation of public health policies, and outbreak investigation methodologies.
This program is an integral part of the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET), coordinated by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and fully aligned with the structure and principles of the broader European training framework.
In addition to the high-quality theoretical and practical training, participation in the program enabled EODY trainees to collaborate and exchange experiences with colleagues from various European countries, strengthening both international scientific cooperation and connections between European public health systems.
EODY’s active involvement in such training initiatives substantially contributes to enhancing operational readiness and response capabilities for epidemiological events at both national and international levels.
