Gabon Launches Training Workshop to Enhance Public Health Management System

By Africazine

Gabon is taking significant steps to enhance its public health services through targeted training initiatives.

The Minister of Health, Pr Elsa Nkana Joséphine Ayo épouse Bivigou, launched a comprehensive training workshop on September 9, 2026, for the Institute of Public Hygiene and Sanitation (IHPA) teams. This workshop focuses on the Integrated Management System (SMI-QHSE), based on international standards ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025, and is set to conclude on September 12, 2026.

Gabon Launches Training for Public Health Teams

The training workshop aims to equip process leaders with essential skills for implementing the SMI-QHSE. Participants will validate operational documents, adopt a deployment timeline, and monitor performance indicators. This initiative is expected to enhance the reliability of services, improve traceability of activities, and strengthen risk management within the IHPA.

During the workshop’s opening, the Minister highlighted the importance of fostering a culture of quality, responsibility, and continuous improvement, rather than merely producing administrative documents. This approach is crucial for the effective functioning of Gabon’s healthcare system.
