GOARN Outbreak Response Scenario Training 31 October to 5 November 2022 New Delh
TRAINING REPORT
Overview
The Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network Scenario Training was first launched in 2005 and over the years has evolved into an intensive 5-day outbreak scenario-driven course which aims to simulate the technical and operational challenges of outbreak response. While this training course was hosted in South East Asia Region of WHO several times in the early years of its development, it has been over 10 years since it’s last implementation in the Region. With significant interest from partners in other regions to engage, the GOARN Tier 2.0 training course was hosted by WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia, New Delhi jointly with GOARN Secretariat in WHO, Geneva and WHO Western Pacific Region.
The meeting was held with the objective to prepare future outbreak responders for international, multidisciplinary team environments, adapt their technical skills to field contexts, develop their soft skills, foster networking, advocate GOARN's value, and enhance partner engagement and commitment.
Key partners contributed to the training programme, including Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network (TEPHINET), Australian National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre (NCCTRC), and regional partners.
