Microbiologist | Public Health Enthusiast | Data Collection & Entry | Data Analysis | Health Researcher | Passionate about promoting Health Care and Empowering Individuals through Health Volunteerism
Hello LinkedIn family, I'm thrilled to introduce myself as the not so newest member of this vibrant professional network. I am Tanyi Mariette, a postgraduate student in Epidemiology and Control of infectious diseases (BSc Microbiology). A young Cameroonian passionate about improving health in my community, and throughout my studies I have been able to volunteer in a laboratory and been part of campaigns such as Hepatitis campaign, HIV, and Malaria, Polio campaigns, act as a district supervisor representative. My expertise lies in understanding the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health-related events, by using statistical tools and epidemiological models to assess risk factors, monitor trends to conduct research, collect, analyse data, and interpret findings that inform evidence-based decision-making. I'm passionate about empowering the community to make informed health decisions by creating awareness of the need for medical care that drives their well-being. I'm dedicated to delivering tailored solutions that meet their unique needs. All these are in line with the quest towards improving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (good, health and wellbeing) I know every little activity done to build a community positively, counts. We won't stop till the world becomes a better place.

Welcome to a lecture on the Epidemiology of Tuberculosis, featuring Dr. Philippe Glaziou, Senior Epidemiologist at the World Health Organization. Dr. Glaziou leads the epidemiology sub-team of the Global TB Programme at WHO Headquarters in Geneva, bringing extensive experience in TB research and public health. In this lecture, we will explore various aspects of the epidemiology of tuberculosis, including: 1. Introduction 2. TB Transmission 3. Paleopathological TB (7000-40 BCE) 4. Fall in TB Deaths in England and Wales 5. TB Incidence Decline in the Netherlands 6. Slow Decline in TB Burden 7. Average Lifetime Risk of Disease (5-15%) 8. TB Epidemic in Japan Driven by Reactivation of Past Infection 9. Determinants of TB 10. Six-Fold Increase in Notified TB in Kenya 11. Highest Number of Cases in India and China (2011) 12. 22 Countries Account for 80% of Global Burden 13. Highest Incidence Rates in Sub-Saharan Africa (2011) 14 Highest TB Mortality Rates in Sub-Saharan Africa, Including TB Deaths in HIV+ (2011) 15. TB Control Principles 16. Eliminating TB This lecture is contributed by Dr. Philippe Glaziou, who has been with WHO since 2004, initially at the Regional Office for the Western Pacific. Before WHO, Dr. Glaziou worked with Institute Pasteur in Paris and has been posted in various countries, including Cambodia, Central African Republic, and French Polynesia. His extensive background in clinical research and public health has significantly contributed to global TB control efforts. Join us as we delve into the epidemiological aspects of tuberculosis and the strategies for its control and elimination. #tuberculosis #epidemiology #publichealth #diseasecontrol #WHO #globalhealth #PhilippeGlaziou https://lnkd.in/gwGDjDjE

On Saturday, we concluded four exciting days at #UnionConf2023 with a session led by JSI, emphasizing the importance of system strengthening for an effective national TB program. In addition to all the oral presentations delivered throughout the week, TIFA India grantee National Institute Of Epidemiology (icmr) also presented two e-posters— 1) A study on the impact of active case finding for TB among marginalized and vulnerable populations in #India for the year 2021, considering scale, frequency, and target population choices; it serves as a baseline for future analyses. 2) A cross-sectional study conducted in six Indian states among TB patients who completed treatment between May and October 2022 under the National TB Elimination Program, aiming to determine the proportion of patients receiving at least one Nikshay Poshan Yojana benefit and detailing the utilization patterns of this benefit. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to highlight this important work at #UnionConf2023, and look forward to building on the learning and connections from the conference. #EndTB

A call for "NCD Stories or Quotes from the Field." Dear FETP partners, have you conducted a project on cardiovascular health or noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)? Does your data show the NCD burden in your country or the gaps in addressing NCDs? If so, we encourage you to share stories and quotes about your vital work and messages highlighting the need to address NCDs. We hope to see many NCD stories in honor of World Field Epidemiology Day this year. TEPHINET is collecting stories/testimonials now for World Field Epidemiology Day 2023! Email ejoseph@taskforce.org or secretariat@tephinet.org with the subject line "My story for World Field Epidemiology Day." Using personal examples, let us know why increasing diversity and equity in field epidemiology is vital for public health. Text, photos, and videos: all are welcome! Around the world, serve all people. As such, it is especially important to ensure that the field epidemiology profession is inclusive and accessible to all.Prabhdeep Kaur, Ganeshkumar Parasuraman, Phanthanee Thitichai, Lijie Zhang, Jeanette J.
