ECHO
Project ECHO is a virtual, mentorship and learning network that reduces public health disparities by connecting the Provincial and districts including frontline workers with national experts to meet the urgent needs of public health concerns in surveillance, emergency preparedness and public health laboratory services. ZNPHI ECHO is a way to bring people together, spread knowledge, and a whole sense of community of practice.
When one participant in ECHO shares their expertise with their peers, each of them can go on to improve the lives of hundreds of people in their facilities and catmint areas.
ECHO participants engage in a virtual community with their peers where they share support, guidance and feedback. As a result, our collective understanding of how to disseminate and implement best practices across diverse disciplines continuously improves and expands.
What We Do
We believe that the right knowledge, at the right place, at the right time can improve and save innumerable lives. That’s why we scale what works, by developing topics and creating a sustainable system for just-in-time virtual mentoring and collaborative problem-solving.
In today’s world more than ever, we need to move critical knowledge to where it’s needed most, and a lightning speed.
Our goal is to connect every frontline worker, in every corner of the districts, to a community of practice that helps them hone and acquire new skills for greater impact in Disease surveillance, Emergency Preparedness and Response, One Health and Anti-microbial resistance awareness.
We work across health, academia, climate resilience, systems strengthening, and more always centering local leadership and contextual knowledge with the goal of improving health and wellbeing for all.
