EH Professionals Involvement in COVID-19
Rapid Need Assessment
The National Environmental Health Association - NEHA, USA
has conducted a Rapid Needs Assessment (convenience sample) of the US Environmental Health workforce relative to COVID-19 - conducted on March 25, 2020. This is relevant because environmental health professionals in the US are the second largest part of the local public health workforce, behind nursing. Responses were received from approximately 1,175 local, territorial, state, tribal, federal and private sector respondents. The report was realased to day March 30, 2020.
NEHA has kindly offered that this information could be shared with all IFEH member organisations and relevant EH professionals through the IFEH website, for which we are grateful.
The survey undertaken by NEHA in the US provides very useful information - and at the same time it sets an example for how other IFEH member organisations could undertake similar assessment / survey on what are the needs in terms of COVID-19 as experienced by EH Professionals in their own country.

IFEH Project in
Tanzania
The IFEH project to raise money to establish a library for the
new degree course is going well but a more generous response to the IFEH
Tanzania Library Appeal is still needed.
If, through this project, the average life expectancy at birth
in Tanzania is in time raised to only 46 then we, with others, will have
contributed to an astonishing 125 million years of life gain for its people.
This project can be replicated in many other countries. The contribution that
environmental health education and professional development can make to mankind
in the developing world is quite simply staggering.
