At least 200 presentations are slated to be made this week at
the 3rd ever scientific conference organised by the Nigeria
Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Nigeria Field
Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programme (NFELTP).
The conference which starts on Monday also marks 10 years of
NFELTP, instituted to help train frontline workers to contain
public health threats.
NCDC says the conference is a platform for field epidemiologists
and physicians to share scientific knowledge and research with a
larger public health audience and strengthen health security.
The need to improve health security and strengthen field
epidemiology has been sharpened by emergence and re-emergence of
viral hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola and other diseases like
meningitis and cholera prone to becoming epidemics.
NCDC currently keeps a dashboard to monitor cholera, meningitis,
Lassa fever, measles, acute flaccid paralysis.
A lineup of keynote speakers include epidemiologists from Uganda
and Liberia, pharmaceutical microbiologists, experts in port
health services and global health professionals.
