Displaying 1 - 17 of 17

The WASH FIT training package has been completely revised and updated. The complete package is available to download here which includes seven modules and supplementary materials:

  • Introduction to WASH in HCF and links with health
  • WASH FIT Methodology
  • Five technical modules: Water; Sanitation; Health care waste management; Hand hygiene; Environmental cleaning & disinfection.

You are encouraged to modify and adapt the slides as you need, e.g. changing photos or text to make them more relevant to your setting. If you have any questions or comments on the training materials, please get in touch washinhcf@who.int.
 
WASH FIT & COVID-19: This training package was developed before the outbreak of COVID-19. A short summary of the most relevant technical guidance for WASH & COVID-19 have subsequently been included in each technical module. A shortened version of the WASH FIT assessment tool for use in COVID-19 settings where a rapid evaluation of services is needed is also available.

COVID-19 Contact Tracing Course

 

Purdue University Global’s COVID-19 contact tracing course recommended by CDC provides the information you need to help public health agencies track and limit the spread of the novel corona-virus, or COVID-19. The need for health care professionals and volunteers trained in effective contact tracing will be crucial in the coming months, as cities and states lift stay-at-home orders and loosen restrictions on businesses. Use your passion for public health to help your community fight the spread of COVID-19.

Capacity Building and Training

The prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic is managed by a wide variety of public and private actors working with local communities.

For this reason, Bioforce has developed this on-line training to support local actors working with the communities. This English version has been put together with the support of Action Against Hunger (ACF France) and OXFAM.

MSF Micro-Learning on IPC

The website comes with a password: Covid19msf 

A significant amount of documentation, guidance, health promotion material for communities and training material has been produced over the past few weeks. All of this has now been made available online for the benefit of healthcare workers, and for logistics and supply teams who support COVID-19 interventions. The information on this brand new resources website reflects current knowledge and information based on MSF’s experience, and is influenced by the exceptional situation created by the COVID 19 pandemic. The information is therefore provisional and to be used only in the absence of standard procedures and materials validated by WHO or the MoH. It does not replace professional clinical judgment or MoH or WHO recommendations.  
 
The following training materials developed by MSF OCB present general principles on IPC and are not Covid-19 specific.
