Addressing the workforce capacity for public health surveillance through field epidemiology and laboratory training program: the need for balanced enhanced skill mix and distribution, a case study from Tanzania

“…Thus, this training model and the design of the TFELTP, adopted from EIS [ 11 ] provides a comprehensive and extensive learning opportunities through exposing trainees to long field work experiences where challenges, multisectoral interactions, cross-sectoral collaboration and other strategies for implementing surveillance activities are acquired [ 1 , 3 , 9 , 15 ]. Having TFELTP graduates who have mixed skillful is thus important, as they all provide a wider scope of varying knowledge, improve the decision-making processes, and understandability of possible consequences and risks that are necessary for instituting rapid and efficient response actions [ 17 ,19- 21 ]. A balanced and a well distributed skill mix in human resources also ensures effective implementation of IDSR [ 16 ,18, 20 - 22 ].…”
