Brief Introduction
Learn how to better manage COVID-19 patients in African primary care settings where patient attendance is down due to COVID-19.Requirements
- The aim of this course is to help clinicians contribute to a gradual return to the patient volumes observed before the outbreak in Africa. The course is designed for primary care providers operating across the African continent, with a particular focus on upper lower to lower-middle-income populations where information sharing can be difficult. This may include non-physician clinicians (NPCs) known as clinical officers (COs) across selected African countries. The course will help patient populations in urban and peri-urban areas who have access to primary care facilities that predominantly offer outpatient services (although in some cases these extend to inpatient services). Whereas specific reference to the wider African healthcare system will be made, this course remains applicable, in principle, to all low and middle-income primary care practices.
