TrainHealth -A New CFHI Initiative
Published April 13, 2009 @ 05:19PM PT
TrainHealth is an initiative of CFHI that helps to address the health care worker shortage in the developing world.
CFHI provides opportunities for health care workers to expand and refine their knowledge, so that they can better serve their own communities.
Additional training and professional development opportunities are well documented to help fight the brain drain and increase job satisfaction. Trainhealth is a direct response to the grassroots requests CFHI has received at their partner sites.
For 17 years, CFHI's international partners have contributed to the education and personal growth of the students who have served a rotation at their site. In turn, CFHI feels a responsibility to provide reciprocal educational opportunities for their partners and the community they serve.
Our current effort through TrainHealth is to support the training of nurses in India. Dr. Vimarsh Raina, CFHI Medical Director, in New Delhi, has long championed the work of nurses as the backbone of the Indian health system. For many years now he has been supporting the training of nurses, especially those who do not have the resources to pay for a nursing education. Please visit http://trainhealth.org/ to help Dr. Raina in this important effort.
