OUR OBJECTIVES

What we do

To significantly improve access to high quality, evidence-based, peer-reviewed education to frontline health workers, maximizing the impact of donor funding through the removal of unnecessary duplication.

To avoid duplication, we leverage existing resources from globally respected educators that follow WHO guidelines.

We work with our stakeholders to keep the skills and knowledge of nurses, midwives, clinical officers & doctors up to date, empowering them to deliver better patient care and improving health outcomes.

Key Milestones

During 2019 we enhanced our platform to work in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and worked with regulatory bodies and educators to deliver a training program for nurses and midwives.
