Personal statement
"Working at PHO as a hub organization is important for my field of public health emergency preparedness, as interaction and collaboration with other sectors is crucial during emergencies with health impacts. PHO’s mandate in terms of the generation and synthesis of knowledge is highly relevant to the PHEP field, which can benefit from the development of more rigorous knowledge and evaluation.”
