My visit to the Division of International Health (Public Health) of Niigata University

 

It was my great pleasure to visit the Division of International Health (Public Health) of Niigata University, from 7 to 12th November, 2011. I had my first tutorial trainings on GIS basic principles. It was amazing. I’m an epidemiologist, responsible for influenza surveillance activities at the National Influenza Center, National Center of Communicable Diseases, Mongolia. Since 2011/12 fiscal year, I’m also a PhD fellow supported by JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) at the Department of Virology, Tohoky University, Sendai, Japan. As part of my project, I came to Niigata to analyze our influenza surveillance data using Kriging method. I got some experiences and results but my colleagues and I need more training and practice to analyze the data using GIS methods.

When I return to Mongolia, I hope I can share our results and discuss on future plan and collaboration activities.

I would like to thank everybody who trained and helped me as my Sensei Ass. Prof Shobugawa Yugo, Professor Saito Reiko, Ass. Prof Saito Kousuke, students and staff.

Many thanks to Shobugawa sensei and Kousuke-san and his family for wonderful Saturday. I enjoyed a lot.

Welcome to my country!
