  6. Research & practice in public health

  7. Example in public health:Knowledge hub idea 1. Distribute knowledge among executive managers 2. Empower authorities in their decision-making 3. Capacity building 4. Developing and adapting the training manuals & guidelines 5. Technical assistance 6. Active participation in applied studies at national and regional levels 7. Dissemination of knowledge 8. Development of collaborative networks with national and international institutions 9. ….
