Staffing, Professional Education and Training Needs in Environmental Health Services for the Central Asian Republics

A number of missions were carried by WHO during 1995 in the central Asian republics (CAR) to investigate the status of staffing and training in environmental health services in these countries. As a follow-up to these missions, a workshop on staffing, professional education and training needs in environmental health services for the CAR was held in Bishkek. This workshop explored issues relating to the development of environmental health services on which the CAR could collaborate on professional education research and common international issues. Participants made recommendations for future collaboration in developing the professional and institutional capacities of environmental health services in the CAR. [abstract]
