President and National Chairman of EPISON, Prof. Ayuba I. Zoakah, in his speech at the event held in Abuja, said the theme is not only topical but poses the challenges the Nigerian Epidemiologist faces daily in programme implementation and research. Secretary of the Local Organising Committee of the event, and Acting. Executive Secretary, FCT Primary Health Care Development Board, Dr. Matthew Ashikeni said experts that work in the field of epidemiology met to strategize and chart the way forward as well as check the incessant outbreak of diseases.
