New eBook Captures Public Health Insights from EMPHNET’s 8th Regional Conference

A new Frontiers in Public Health eBook brings together 12 articles developed from discussions and insights generated through the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network’s (EMPHNET) 8th Regional Conference, creating a consolidated resource on some of the most pressing public health priorities facing the Eastern Mediterranean Region.

Titled Advancing Public Health Preparedness and Response in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: Challenges, Opportunities, and Ways Forward – Insights from the 8th EMPHNET Regional Conference, the eBook examines multisectoral coordination, pandemic preparedness, public health system strengthening, noncommunicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance, public health education, zero-dose vaccination, tobacco control, polio outbreak preparedness and response, One Health, and public health priorities in Sudan and Gaza.

The collection reflects the role of EMPHNET’s Regional Conference as a platform for bringing together regional and global expertise, country experiences, and diverse perspectives around shared public health challenges. Across the conference’s forums, roundtables, and other technical sessions, experts and practitioners examined implementation challenges, shared lessons from countries, and identified opportunities and recommendations for strengthening public health action.

By documenting and developing these discussions into scientific publications, the eBook extends the value of the conference beyond the event itself. It makes regional experiences and lessons more accessible to public health professionals, researchers, policymakers, and institutions and provides a resource that can contribute to continued learning, dialogue, and evidence-informed decision-making.

“Regional conferences create an important space for countries, experts, and partners to exchange experiences and examine shared public health challenges. Transforming these discussions into scientific publications helps preserve that knowledge, extend its reach, and make it available to inform future public health policy and practice across the region,” said Prof. Yousef Khader, Chair of EMPHNET's Regional Conferences Scientific Committee.

The articles address issues that are particularly relevant to a region affected by health emergencies, conflict, displacement, resource constraints, and evolving disease threats. They highlight recurring priorities including stronger governance and coordination, sustainable preparedness, workforce development, community engagement, health system resilience, surveillance, and collaboration across sectors.

The eBook also reflects EMPHNET’s broader commitment to strengthening knowledge exchange across the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Through its Regional Conference and other scientific and professional platforms, EMPHNET works to connect public health professionals, institutions, and partners and to support the documentation and dissemination of knowledge generated from regional practice and experience.
