Webinar series on Essential Public Health Functions
Different country experiences have shed light on effective solutions, critical bottlenecks, and practical lessons to strengthen public health functions and impact health access and outcomes. In an even more challenging context, the COVID-19 pandemic offers a stark reminder and a call for collective action to strengthen public health actions and protect the most vulnerable.
To support these efforts, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) promotes a renewed focus on the importance of Essential Public Health Functions (EPHF) in the Americas. This approach offers an opportunity to catalyze political commitment to ensure universal health, global health security, and more significant health equity in the Americas.
Webinar series target audience
Academic community from Public Health schools and PAHO collaborating centers
Technical officers from national health authorities and institutions
PAHO and WHO professional staff from Country Offices, headquarters, and regional centers
