BISHOFTU, Ethiopia (Feb. 12-2026) – Building on the successful validation of the Data Science for Healthcare Certification Program Curriculum in November 2025, stakeholders reconvened this week for the Module Validation Workshop, marking another key milestone toward program implementation.

Organized by the Federal Ministry of Health (MoH) in collaboration with Emerald International College and JSI, the ongoing sessions bring together national health experts, data scientists, academic leaders, and public health practitioners to conduct a detailed review of each training module. The objective is to ensure technical accuracy, contextual relevance to Ethiopia’s health system, and alignment with national digital health and workforce development priorities.

Since Feb. 11, participants have been engaged in intensive technical discussions, refining learning outcomes, practical components, assessment methods, and delivery approaches for the program’s modules. This process is designed to guarantee that each module equips future trainees with practical data science competencies needed to strengthen evidence-based decision-making across Ethiopia’s healthcare sector.

The module validation exercise represents the final technical step before pilot implementation, reaffirming partners’ shared commitment to developing a skilled healthcare data science workforce and advancing a modern, data-driven health system for Ethiopia.
