The Simulation Exercise (TTX), revolving around a hypothetical outbreak scenario, aimed to refine emergency response systems, practice EOP activation, and identify potential weaknesses in both the EOP and the Incident Management System. It not only validated existing emergency response strategies but also illuminated areas for improvement.

Special appreciation was extended to the dedicated team of professionals and WHO experts for their collaboration and steadfast commitment to ensuring community safety and well-being. The commitment remains strong to provide top-quality health services even in emergency conditions.
