Yemen

_____________

The MSF Academy started its activities in Yemen in November 2022, with an initial assessment in Aden previous to the implementation of the Basic Clinical Nursing Care learning programme. The hospital targeted for the implementation of the programme was Aden Trauma hospital.

In Aden, the implementation of the programme started in July 2023 and finished one year after, in July 2024, with 65 graduates.

In Ad Dahi, the Basic Clinical Nursing Care learning programme was implemented from December 2024 to December 2025, with 68 graduates.

With the start of the first project in Yemen, the MSF Academy implemented the Basic Clinical Nursing Care programme for the first time in Arabic. For this purpose, the curriculum was translated and proofread, and the images included in the learning material were contextualised.

Since the results of the initial assessments in Aden showed that the level of knowledge and competencies of the learners was higher than in other projects where we implemented the programme, a contextualised case-based approach was developed. The implementation took 12 months in this case, instead of the usual 24 months.

In Ad Dahi, the BCNC was implemented for 12 months, ending in December 2025, with very good results in the final assessments, especially in drug calculation and Infection Prevention and Control.
