The Program

The Takemi Program in International Health at the Harvard School of Public Health is an interdisciplinary research program that focuses on the problems of mobilizing, allocating, and maintaining limited resources to improve health. To address these issues, the program brings together at Harvard a small group of Takemi Fellows, mid-career professionals from around the world, with particular emphasis on fellows from developing countries.

Through its activities, the program aims to advance knowledge about international health and to contribute to institutional development and improvement of national policy.

The program was established in 1983 and is named after Dr. Taro Takemi, the distinguished physician-scientist who served for more than 25 years as the president of the Japan Medical Association. Since its inception in 1983, 251 Takemi Fellows from 53 countries have been selected to participate in the Program.

El Fatih El Samani, ScD, ScM, M Comm H, MBBS – Sudan Development of a diploma/master’s degree in epidemiology training program for Sudan and neighboring countries

Dr. El-Fatih Z. El-Samani is currently Professor in the Department of Community Medicine, Ahfad University for Women, Medical School, Sudan. Since 2007, he has been teaching epidemiology and research methods to undergraduate and post graduate students and supervising their research at Ahfad and other academic Institutions in

Sudan. Prior to this time, he held positions in the United Nations (1991-2007). He served as UNICEF Regional Advisor for Child Survival and Development, WHO Regional Advisor for Disease Surveillance (in EMRO), and WHO Chief of Mission and Representative in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Oman.

From 1978 to 1990, Dr. El-Samani held academic posts in the University of Khartoum, Faculty of Medicine, and the Arabian Gulf University, Bahrain. In these positions, he taught Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Population Sciences and Research Methods. During the 1980s, he was a Takemi Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health (1985-86); and Research Fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1980-82) in the UNU International Food and Nutrition Policy Program. He also held teaching responsibilities at several academic institutions in Sudan. Dr. El-Samani has published in the fields of Childhood Infections, Low Birth Weight, Epidemiology of Nutrition and Infectious Diseases, and Training of Frontline Health Workers.

Takemi Fellowship 2014-15

During his Takemi Fellowship in 2014-15, Dr. El-Samani is addressing the weak research skills and quantitative methods competences in Sudan and neighboring countries. This weakness has resulted in a lack of good research to use in modifying clinical practices, and in providing evidence for public health policies that can improve the state of the population’s health. Sudan’s limited achievement in moving towards the MDGs reflects this problem in capacity.

The main objective of Dr. El-Samani’s fellowship is to develop a three-tier comprehensive training program on Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Research Methods for public health professionals in Sudan. The first course targets in-service training for a Diploma, the second course is for a Master of Public Health for health professionals, and the third course is for a Master of Science for the more academic and research oriented professions in health. The Harvard School of Public Health provides an excellent location to consult, learn and critically review the plans for these courses, so that they can be implemented in Sudan. There exists a dire need for such training in national authorities, academic institutions, international organizations and NGOs working in Sudan and neighboring countries.

Nkechi Onyeneho, PhD (Nigeria) Anemia in Pregnancy: A cross–sectional study of attitudes and practice among women of childbearing ages in the Southeast Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria Dr. Nkechi Onyeneho is a Takemi Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH). She holds Master of Science and Doctorate degrees in Sociology/Anthropology, with specializations in Gender and Medical Sociology/Anthropology, from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology/Anthropology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where she

teaches Medical Sociology/Anthropology, Gerontology and Ecology and Society, among other courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Past Research Since the commencement of her postgraduate studies in 2001, Dr. Onyeneho has undertaken research projects sponsored by local, international, and multinational agencies on infectious and tropical disease issues. The focus of her research activities has been gender issues in development, health and population dynamics as well as aging. Some of her studies include: Children with disabilities in Benue State (UNICEF Enugu sponsored, co-investigator); Malaria in Anambra, Bauchi and River States (World Bank Group sponsored, principal investigator); and a study on Nigeria Expenditure Effectiveness For Opportunities and Results project (SEEFOR) social assessment of four states in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria (principal investigator). Additionally, she was the principal investigator for the Society for Women and AIDS in Nigeria sponsored study on commercial sex workers and HIV/AIDS which was conducted to assess the risk factors and economic empowerment needs of female sex workers in Enugu. She also participated in UNDP sponsored project on capacity assessment of public and private health facilities, constituent contributing entities and civil societies involved in provision of health care services to people living with HIV/AIDS in Anambra State, Nigeria. Dr. Onyeneho has also participated in WHO sponsored operational research on neglected tropical diseases. Takemi Fellowship 2015-16 During her Takemi Fellowship in 2015-16, Dr. Onyeneho is analyzing the attitude and practice towards anemia in pregnancy, as well as the utilization of ANC service in preventing and managing anemia in pregnancy in Nigeria. Anemia generally and anemia in pregnancy continue to constitute a major challenge to public health in Nigeria. With over 40% prevalence, it is considered a severe condition in Nigeria, despite efforts by multilateral and national organizations to control it. With the majority of girls and women falling below World Health Organization and Food & Agricultural Organization iron consumption guidelines, the main objective of Dr. Onyeneho’s fellowship is to compare experiences, knowledge, and practices of women who delivered within six months to the survey in urban, peri urban and rural communities to suggest culturally specific and tailored solutions to anemia in pregnancy in the different communities.
