Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) Training to Health Workers in Dar es Salaam
---------------------
Last week Amref Health Africa Tanzania, through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) project in collaboration with Wizara ya Afya Tanzania and Ofisi ya Rais - Tamisemi, conducted onsite Health Facility Event-Based Surveillance (HF-EBS) training for Health Care Workers (HCWs) and Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Dar es Salaam region.

The training reached 149 HCWs and 83 CHWs from 20 facilities in Ilala and 20 in Temeke Municipalities. The training equipped HCWs and CHWs with practical skills for early detection and timely reporting of public health signals through the electronic EBS platform.

Strengthening HF-EBS capacities at both facility and community levels enhances early outbreak detection, improves response efficiency, and safeguards communities from emerging health threats.

The project is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) CDCTanzania.

Our Story

Amref Health Africa is an international African organisation headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. Amref Health Africa has over 60 yearsโ€™ experience in health development. In 1957, three surgeons founded the Flying Doctors Service of East Africa, laying the foundation for what is now one of the continentโ€™s leading health development and research organisations. Today, Amref Health Africa implements its projects through country programmes in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Senegal, South Sudan and South Africa. Training and consulting support are provided to an additional 30 African countries. Amref Health Africa believes that by focusing on the health of women and children, the health of the whole community can be improved. We are concerned with skilled care of mothers before, during and after childbirth; prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, and proper management of childhood illnesses. Our main areas of intervention are maternal and child health; HIV and Tuberculosis; safe water and sanitation; malaria; and essential clinical care. Amref Health Africa shares knowledge gained from our grassroots programmes with others, and uses it as evidence to advocate appropriate change in health policy and practice. In all our programmes, Amref Health Africa partners with communities, civil society organisations, health practitioners, and the private and public sectors to establish a participatory health care system.
