Abstract

The African Union and the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a Call to Action in 2022 for Africa's New Public Health Order that underscored the need for increased capacity in the public health workforce. Additional domestic and global investments in public health workforce development are central to achieving the aspirations of Agenda 2063 of the African Union, which aims to build and accelerate the implementation of continental frameworks for equitable, people-centred growth and development. Recognising the crucial role of higher education and research, we assessed the capabilities of public health doctoral training in schools and programmes of public health in Africa across three conceptual components: instructional, institutional, and external. Six inter-related and actionable recommendations were derived to advance doctoral training, research, and practice capacity within and between universities. These can be achieved through equitable partnerships between universities, research centres, and national, regional, and global public health institutions.

非洲公共卫生博士教育的未来：改革高等教育机构，加强研究与实践。

非洲联盟和非洲疾病控制和预防中心发出了《2022 年非洲公共卫生新秩序行动呼吁》，强调必须提高公共卫生工作人员的能力。对公共卫生人员队伍建设进行更多的国内和全球投资，对于实现非洲联盟《2063 年议程》的愿望至关重要，该议程旨在建立和加快实施非洲大陆公平、以人为本的增长和发展框架。认识到高等教育和研究的关键作用，我们从教学、机构和外部三个概念方面评估了非洲公共卫生学校和计划的公共卫生博士培训能力。为提高大学内部和大学之间的博士培训、研究和实践能力，我们提出了六项相互关联的可行建议。这些建议可以通过大学、研究中心以及国家、地区和全球公共卫生机构之间的公平伙伴关系来实现。
