Classroom to Care: Training to Expand Access to Maternal and Child Health

Classroom to Care

IntraHealth is partnering with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited and 12 private schools in Mali, Senegal, and Niger to sustainably increase the number of qualified, well-trained nurses who can serve rural communities in these countries—all of which face a critical shortage of health workers. 

Through Classroom to Care (C2C), IntraHealth works with four schools in each of the three countries, helping them partner effectively with the public sector, achieve the appropriate accreditations, enhance competency-based curricula, create effective learning approaches, and graduate students from underserved areas—all as part of our effort to ensure that everyone everywhere has the health care they need to thrive.

By the end of the project, C2C aims to have 580 teachers trained on the CBA, 9,720 students benefiting from quality training, and all 12 private health schools accredited. 

For more detailed information about the Classroom to Care project, please see the news article, In Francophone West Africa, 3,000 More Nursing and Midwifery Students Are Benefitting from Competency-Based Training Matching Local Needs.

Learn more about the Classroom to Care project in three short videos produced by IntraHealth’s Mali team from the latest virtual visit with Takeda.
