INTRODUCTION
ADPC, WHO-WPRO,
and WHO-SEARO jointly developed the PHEMAP
curriculum in 2001 and implemented the first
PHEMAP inter-regional course in March 2002
in collaboration with WHO and with support
from the Japan International Corporation for
Welfare Services (JICWELS). Subsequently,
ADPC has been implementing the
inter-regional PHEMAP courses with funding
support from WHO and the Royal Government of
Norway.
The 7th
Inter-regional PHEMAP course is organized by
ADPC and WHO (SEARO/WPRO), with the funding
support from the Royal Government of Norway
will be conducted in Bangkok from 18-29 June
2007.
National
PHEMAP courses have been implemented in the
Cambodia, People’s Republic of China, Fiji,
Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka and
Socialist Republic of Vietnam by Ministries
of Health with support from WHO and other
agencies. Other activities, such as the
Management of the Dead and the Missing in
Disasters, have also been organized by ADPC,
SEARO, and WPRO. Briefly, the PHEMAP
Program’s goal is to strengthen national
capacities for managing health risks of
emergencies in the WHO Asia and Western
Pacific regions.
The PHEMAP
program objectives are:
1. To
enhance the knowledge, skills and attitudes
of health human resources at national,
sub-national and community levels by
offering a range of training courses and
capacity building activities.
2. To
promote and facilitate regional
collaboration and national coordination in
health emergency management through the
development and implementation of formal and
informal networks and other activities.
3. To
contribute to capacity building in other
regions and countries by offering PHEMAP
initiatives.
This course is
about learning: opportunities for learning
will come from the course facilitators, but
it will also come form your interaction with
your fellow participants from other
countries in the Asia Pacific regions, as
well as from the extensive range of
documentation that you will receive. The
course will give greater emphasis to the
risk management, program management,
operations management and leadership roles
of health emergency managers. The course
will enable graduates to address the
challenges of managing emergency health
risks by making improvements to the capacity
of their respective health emergency
management systems and institutions. PHEMAP
graduates are also expected to contribute to
the development and implementation of PHEMAP
course at national and sub-national levels.
Moreover,
PHEMAP course is specifically designed for
people who play critical health emergency
management and coordination roles in
managing the health risks of emergencies.
The inter-regional PHEMAP course will
familiarize health emergency managers with
policy-making, risk management, emergency
response and recovery planning,
international standards and regional
cooperation. They will be able to adopt
roles as a program manager and operations
coordinator by applying tools and processes,
such as capacity assessment and development,
information management, incident management,
and risk communications to improve emergency
health services that include environment
health, mass casualty management, feeding
and nutrition, emergency medical systems,
psychosocial support and communicable
disease control.
COURSE
METHODOLOGY
The wide
variety of experiences that participants
bring to the Course requires a design, based
on adult learning principles, that builds on
their current experiences and gives them the
opportunity to practice newly learned
knowledge and skills. To make the Course
truly useful, participants must also think
about how they will use what they learn
after they return to their work. An
interactive approach will help both
facilitators and participants evaluate how
well the new information is being learned.

the course, participants should be able to
