Strengthening the capacity of health workers through e-learning

To strengthen Guinea‘s health system, the Academy for Global Health and Development, represented by the German Institute for Medical Mission (Deutsches Institut für Ärztliche Mission e.V.), the regional and prefectural health directorate of the Nzérékoré region and the NGO TINKISSO are working together. The partners are training health workers in a variety of locations to improve hygiene and prevent infection. The project will support the government in making the training content available digitally and in online and e-learning courses. This will enable more staff to be trained without having to travel to the capital Conakry.

The project is funded by the GIZ regional program University and Hospital Partnerships in Africa (HKP). The aim of this program is to train healthcare professionals of the future and to strengthen state-of-the–art research on topics relevant to global health.
