Strengthening healthcare worker knowledge for outbreak preparedness and response via mobile technology in Nigeria and Uganda
Healthcare worker (HCW) training on epidemic preparedness is vital for effective outbreak detection, reporting and response, especially in resource-limited settings. However, traditional training methods often fail to address the specific needs of frontline HCWs, causing significant delays in disease surveillance and response. This paper explores the Clinical Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (cIDSR) training model, designed to supplem…
Progress in epidemic-ready primary health care
Primary healthcare (PHC) is the first point of contact with communities and essential for epidemic preparedness. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in PHC resilience. Epidemic Ready Primary Healthcare (ERPHC) was designed to bridge these gaps by strengthening PHC to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks while maintaining essential services. An ERPHC pilot was initiated in December 2023 in 654 PHC facilities across Ethiopia, Nigeria, Sierra Leo…
Development of a simple and effective online training for health workers
High completion rates, significant learning gains and positive feedback indicate that self-paced, mobile-ready training that emphasizes short, low-stakes assessment questions can be an effective, scalable way to train HWs who choose to enroll. Low pre-test scores suggest that there are gaps in IPC knowledge among this learner population
Safer primary healthcare facilities are needed to protect healthcare workers and maintain essential services
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of infection from SARS-CoV-2 and other disease pathogens, which take a disproportionate toll on HCWs, with substantial cost to health systems. Improved infection prevention and control (IPC) programmes can protect HCWs, especially in resource-limited settings where the health workforce is scarcest, and ensure patient safety and continuity of essential health services. In response to the COVID-19 pan…
