ECDC organises epidemic intelligence and rapid risk assessment training in Armenia - ISS-G20 Laboratorium Repository

The training course brought together 19 health professionals from the Armenian National Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It was designed specifically for a group of Armenian public health professionals who are responsible for improving response measures to infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.

The overall aim of the training was to engage in a dialogue on how to strengthen epidemic intelligence and rapid risk assessment procedures in order to further optimise Armenia’s public health preparedness and response capacities.

The training included presentations and practical exercises in plenary and in small groups. The first three days were focused on epidemic intelligence, while the fourth day was dedicated to rapid risk assessment methodology. Experts from ECDC, WHO, Robert Koch Institut and local MediPIET representatives were invited to facilitate this training.
