Overview

About this programme

This specialized programme is designed to equip public health and WASH professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and digital surveillance systems for the early detection and prediction of waterborne disease outbreaks. The programme explores how AI can integrate epidemiological, environmental, climate, and water quality data to identify emerging health risks, strengthen early warning systems, and support timely public health interventions. Through practical exercises, case studies, and real-world applications, participants will develop the capacity to implement data-driven disease surveillance strategies that enhance outbreak preparedness, protect public health, and strengthen WASH programme effectiveness.
