"EPIVAC Training Program Launch: Immunization, Benin"
Asia Pulse (www.asiapulse.com) (11/20/02)
The Association for Preventative Medicine, in partnership with the University of Cocody, the University of Paris, and Aventis, launched the first EPIVAC training course at the Benin-based Western African Regional Institute of Public Health. EPIVAC will train doctors in developing nations on vaccination, disease prevention, management of resources related to prevention, public health administration, and the use of specialized computer tools. The hope is that trained doctors will return to their developing countries and offer superior public immunization services.
