Strong public health systems start with a well-trained workforce ready to tackle health threats at every level.

Field Epidemiology in Action (FEiA) partners with governments and national teams to build sustainable training programs to equip health professionals with the skills they need to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats.

Based at the University of Newcastle and Hunter New England Health, FEiA has supported health system strengthening across the Pacific since 2013.

FEiA is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Aid program, along with additional support from donors including Global Fund, World Vision, Papua New Guinea National Department of Health, World Health Organization, and World Bank.
