Rev. Oct16 770-10-0003
Our e-learning courses are designed to cover every step, process, and issue that needs to be understood in order to conduct high quality research. Every course is written to be globally applicable, so for all diseases and all regions. They are also highly pragmatic and adaptable. Each course is car...efully researched to provide up to date and high quality material that is peer reviewed and regularly reviewed and updated. The Global Health Training Centre provides two types of course; Short Courses consisting of a single module ranging from 30 to 120 minutes to complete, and Modular Courses consisting of several linked modules covering a wide range of topics on a particular subject. A certificate is issued once a minimum of 80% is achieved in the quiz sections for each course.

The global pandemic has highlighted fragility in international supply chains and the dependency of many African countries on imported personal protective equipment (PPE). Market pressures have also increased prices for imported supplies and put additional pressure on areas with limited resources for... procurement. There is an urgent operational need to develop the domestic capacity to supply PPE from within the African continent. There is huge variation in Member
States industrial manufacturing capacity and the regulatory and testing capacity of government agencies at present. Growing number of companies, including micro- and small-medium enterprises, have responded by repurposing, albeit temporarily, to manufacture an assortment of PPEs. This workshop aims to bring together government representatives, industry, and subject matter experts on material testing and standards to promote the development of domestic production of safe and effective PPE made in Africa.
