🇹🇿 Tanzania strengthens its frontline public health workforce

Forty field epidemiologists have graduated from Tanzania’s 25th Frontline Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) cohort at MUHAS in Dar es Salaam.

Drawn from Arusha, Manyara and Singida regions, the graduates completed three months of practical training in disease surveillance, data analysis, outbreak investigation and response, GIS mapping, and scientific communication.

The graduation was officiated by Dr Samwel Lazaro, Director of Preventive Services at the Ministry of Health, alongside Dr Mucho Mizinduko, Head of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at MUHAS, and representatives from WHO, U.S. CDC, AFENET and regional health authorities.

Supported through the Pandemic Fund Project, this latest cohort brings the total number of Frontline FETP graduates in Tanzania to 891—a growing workforce turning data into action to detect and respond to public health threats.
