In 2024, the MSF Academy began implementing the Outpatient Care learning programme in Liwale District, Tanzania. The programme has already been rolled out in four health centres in the region, with nine participants having successfully completed it. Seven learners are currently enrolled.
Group pedagogical activity in the health centre.
In Liwale, MSF supports health centres and dispensaries across a wide area in Lindi region. Long travel distances between the project base and health facilities pose challenges for implementation of the training programme, with clinical mentors often travelling up to two hours to facilitate training and mentoring.
The roll-out began in September 2024 at Kimambi, one of the busiest centres serving a large pastoralist community. It was then implemented as well at Liwale A Health Centre, Kibutuka Health Centre and Barikiwa Health Centre.
