WHO-ETAT (Emergency and Admission care) course in Kenya (click for details)

RoseCharities sponsored this course through the Liz and Don Hillman Fund. This, Rose Charities managed fund is dedicated to training in health care in developing countries mainly in Africa...

"We just wanted to share with you the progress made with a Kenyan adaptation of the WHO ETAT course developed by Prof. Elizabeth Molyneux. By extending the course to 5 days (hence ETAT+) we have attempted to produce an emergency and admission care course that captures the main elements of immediate care as part of ‘Inpatient IMCI’ and as outlined in the WHO’s Pocket Book of Hospital Care for Children.

We would like to thank many of you for your help to date as ETAT+ has developed or grown. We hope that with continued support the ETAT / ETAT+ approach can continue to adapt and evolve as part of attempts to improve care for the seriously ill newborn or child reaching hospital.

Best wishes,
Mike English & Grace Irimu

KEMRI / Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Nairobi, Kenya."
