Dr. van der Waals presenting a TB[e]Education certificate!
Uganda
Uganda was the first African country where the computer-based format of HIV[e]Education was instantly accepted as a useful and timely tool to train the many healthcare workers needed for rolling out the treatment program. The program was implemented efficiently and in a relatively short period of time. In January 2004 a round-table conference with all stakeholders in the medical training field - the Ministry of Health, Makerere University, Mulago Hospital, the Joint Clinical Research Center (JCRC), The Aids Support Organization (TASO), Mildmay, Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU), Academic Alliance/Infectious Disease Institute, Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (UCMB), and the WHO - were invited and informed about the possibilities of HIV[e]Education. Groups that planned to do the course immediately lined up. The first pilot of the HIV[e]Education training was given during the JCRC's roll-out program in the eastern region. After evaluation, the program was also given to JCRC to start trainings in other regions. From 2004 until now Health[e]Foundation has trained over 850 healthcare workers in Uganda and will continue to provide future trainings and to expand its reach through mentoring programs. |
"Thank you for the opportunity you have given me and other health workers. I really appreciated the work you did in the workshop we had on 22 Jan 2010!"
