PAHO launches virtual public health campus
------------------------------------------

Washington, DC, April 10, 2003 (PAHO) - The Pan American Health Or-
ganization (PAHO), in association with 14 academic institutions in 
the Americas and Spain, launched a Virtual Public Health Campus as a 
tool to provide continuing education to public health personnel in 
the Americas, offering a variety of distance education courses to 
contribute to public health policy-making and to the performance of 
health systems in the Region.

The Virtual Campus of Public Health is a virtual community offering 
communication exchanges to generate useful knowledge, training and 
debate between individuals and institutions on priority issues re-
lated to health sector reform processes and the management of essen-
tial public health functions, as well as health management and the 
institutional development of schools of public health.
