Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs):
Every low- and middle- income country has or has access to an
accredited FETP
1 trained epidemiologist per 200,000 population
Each low- and middle-income country has a functional National
Public Health Institute that is the officially sanctioned institutional
home for:
Collection and analysis of surveillance data
National Public Health Laboratory
Accredited FETP
PH emergency response system
Public health leadership &
management capacity
strengthening program
