Through the actions carried out by this subsidiary – which works closely with the International Relations Department of the EHESP responsible for steering university partnerships, international courses leading to a qualification and international mobility within the School – EHESP intends to promote capacity building and expertise projects at international level.
The objective is to broaden the responses to the needs of requesting countries in terms of training, support and pedagogical engineering, studies and evaluations in the field of public health. EHESP’s –expert-teachers and affiliated experts will thus be involved more specifically in the fields of organisation and performance of health systems, hospital management, primary care management, medico-social management, crisis management, inspection and health monitoring, health and environment. Since its creation in December 2022, EHESP-International has been working on the development of an online training course dedicated to hospital management, an assessment of hospital management training needs, training of trainers and support in strengthening hospital management training curricula for the needs of different countries in Africa and Asia.
