In today’s episode of Contain This, we feature the Field Epidemiology in Action (FEiA) program, which trains field epidemiologists in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands to strengthen outbreak detection and response through partnership and workforce development.

The FEiA program, supported by the Indo-Pacific Centre for Health Security, is currently training up to 42 staff in PNG and Solomon Islands to conduct surveillance and implement public health interventions to help health authorities respond more quickly and effectively to disease outbreaks such as COVID-19.

Our guests on this episode:

James Flint, an infectious disease epidemiologist and programme manager from the University of Newcastle.
Adrian Kakayan, a nursing officer based in PNG who has recently completed the FEiA program.

For more information on the FEiA program visit the website, Youtube, and X (formerly Twitter) channels.

We encourage you to join the conversation on X at @AusAmbRHS.
