Meeting the Need: Training of Healthcare Workers in Rural Communities
“Africa has over 65% of the world’s HIV burden, 25% of the world’s disease burden and 1.3% of the world’s healthcare workers.”
We believe that an approach to training healthcare workers, utilizing flash drives and low cost E book readers and newer technology for obtaining and distributing files such as E pub or similar propriety methods, could dramatically impact the availability of critical up to date information and improve the education and training of health care workers in rural communities.
