About the Course: This course, developed in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), is intended to provide essential information on the unique health challenges facing peace operations personnel who are not working as health-care personnel or in a public health capacity. Understanding the major health risks, preventative measures, and best practices for managing outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics while deployed is necessary to protect mission staff and prevent the spread of disease among civilians. This course presents a compilation of materials from the WHO e‑learning platform, OpenWHO.org, on preventing infectious and communicable disease; managing outbreaks, pandemics, and epidemics; HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs); mental health; and health during emergencies and disasters.
