To the dedicated members of the public health community, our partners in progress, and all those committed to achieving better health to the people,

 On this World Field Epidemiology Day, I wish to underscore the profound importance of Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETP) to the continued health and well-being of our societies. As an FETP alumnus myself, my journey resonates deeply with the spirit of this training and the relentless pursuit of public health excellence that these programs offer.
