AGENDA
Project meeting - Mahajanga
On November 19-26, 2024, another international meeting of the Infprev4frica project partners took place - this time organized by the University of Mahajanga in Madagascar.
The main topic of the meeting was the implementation of work packages WP3 and WP4, i.e. analysis of the pilot and development of the InfPrev4frica pedagogical model and evaluation of simulation scenarios prepared by partners from the Universities of Sub-Saharan Africa, regarding the prevention and control of nosocomial infections in selected nursing procedures based on current global guidelines. During the meeting, activities regarding the dissemination and promotion of the project on social media were also discussed. Each day of work was accompanied by discussions, exchanges of views and experiences, confirming cultural differences, hardware resources, limitations/potential, possibilities and expectations, which translate into the final shape both in terms of the InfPrev4frica pedagogical model and the implementation of 12 simulation scenarios (3 of each University). During our meeting, we also visited the Nursing Faculty at the University in Mahajanga, where we had the opportunity to assess the real potential and resources of the University and the equipment purchased as part of the project for medical simulation rooms.
