The University of Lomé and WHO team up to bolster research and public health training in Togo

(Togo First) - The World Health Organization (WHO) and the University of Lomé (UL) signed an MoU last Monday in Lomé, to enable more Togolese to get training and do research in public health. The document was signed in Lomé by the UL's chairman Dodzi Kokoroko and WHO's resident representative in Togo, Fatoumata Binta Tidiane.

In detail, the memorandum sets the practical modalities of WHO-Togo's technical support to the Centre de Formation et de Recherche en Santé Publique (CFRSP) of the UL and health training schools.

As part of the deal, both parties are to mobilize resources, draw course curriculums, and lead research in line with healthcare-related quality assurance standards.

On the occasion, Kokoroko told WHO's representative that his university would ensure that everything goes according to plan. 

In response, Binta Tidiane lauded "the commitment of the University of Lomé to support the development of public health in Togo." 

As a reminder, according to university authorities, this agreement was yielded by the partnership agreement signed on June 11, 2019, with Heidelberg University to introduce a Master's degree in Public Health, with the support of the United Nations System (UNS).
