摘要

After the Ebola outbreak in 2013, the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was launched to equip countries to respond to disease outbreaks rapidly. India, a GHSA member, identified field epidemiology (FE) workforce development as critical to strengthening public health systems. The South Asia Field Epidemiology and Technology Network (SAFETYNET) started its India operations in 2018, as an implementing partner to support India’s FE training programs (FETP), through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta (CDC), under GHSA. In 2018, SAFETYNET began by providing technical assistance to the three FETP levels (frontline, intermediate, and advanced) of India, through in-person training, mentoring field investigations, including outbreaks, and conducting scientific writing workshops, and has supported 28 FETP cohorts between 2018 and 2024. Collaborating with CDC and various institutions in India, SAFETYNET has supported the conduct of two FETP conferences, six scientific writing workshops, five mentor workshops, and establishment of three new FETP hubs. In 2019, SAFETYNET started the development of a learning management system (LMS). Between 2018 − 2024, FE trainees have conducted and interpreted over 110 outbreak investigations, 70 surveillance evaluations, and 14 epidemiological research studies with SAFETYNET’s guidance. Its scientific writing support has enabled FETP trainees to present 180 accepted abstracts across 16 conferences. The LMS now tracks the progress of nearly 300 trainees in real-time. Through workforce development and cross-institutional partnerships, SAFETYNET has played a key role in enhancing India’s field epidemiology capacity and developing public health leadership.
