With the right training, health workers can be ready for anything.
Health training programs in Kenya often take place in hotels or other venues far from the action. But learning onsite in health facilities has proven to be a vastly more effective and less expensive way for health workers to pick up new skills.
That’s why IntraHealth is working to provide training for nurses from around the country at health care facilities such as the Tenwek Mission Hospital, which is known across the Rift Valley for its high quality of care. Students can observe and shadow seasoned health workers and learn best practices that they’ll then take back to their own hospitals and clinics.
Together with Kenya’s Ministry of Health, IntraHealth is working to improve national education and training systems. As part of that effort, we’ve made a commitment through the Clinton Global Initiative to use locally designed technology to develop the next generation of computer- and mobile-based learning for Kenya’s frontline health workers.
The FUNZOKenya Project is funded by the US Agency for International Development and receives additional support from the Pfizer Global Health Fellows Program. We also partner with Intel, Safaricom, and others in our commitment through the Clinton Global Initiative.
