This image depicted members of the Colombian Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) team, which in March 2014, performed searches for cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in different zones of the Indian community of Wiwa in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. Here, you see two FETP team members posing for this picture, as they stood aside a mother and her young children at an entrance to a Colombian river crossing bridge. The FETP trains workers on the ground to help countries build sustainable capacity for detecting and responding to health threats. The program develops in-country expertise, so that disease outbreaks can be detected locally, and prevented from spreading.
