The Training on Public Health in Emergencies (PHE) is aimed at giving specialised guidance in public health promotion and protection, disease prevention, health assessment and disease surveillance during an emergency. State, local and block level Public Health Engineering officials; Health; and Social Welfare Department officials working in various sectors of sanitation & hygiene promotion are usually targeted as they are the immediate responders to these situations and they should have immediate access to guidance and information that will assist them in rapidly establishing priorities of undertaking necessary actions during the response to an emergency or disaster besides being duly prepared if any such calamity strikes. A total of 8 CBDP trainings have been conducted in each of the 8 districts viz. Baksa, Kamrup (Metro), , , , , , and 3 PHE trainings in each of the 3 districts viz. Dhubri, Goalpara and Bongaigaon during the month of July. Both the PHE & CBDP trainings were conducted for two-days in each of the districts.
