Cape Town, South Africa, May 2013 – MOASIS has recently completed a successful week-long training course (22nd-26th April 2013) for local IT Technicians within Mozambique. The 16 technicians who attended the training course were from various parts of the 11 provinces in Mozambique, and will now be deployed back into their provinces to provide IT and HIS support to local health facilities within the province.
The MOASIS-led training course, supported by the Mozambique Ministry of Health (MISAU), took place in Maputo, at the Regional Centre for Health Development (CRDS). The initiative is part of the National Health Information System Support Program, and is aimed at up-skilling the local IT technicians in health information systems and providing them with the hardware and software necessary to provide efficient IT and HIS support to the health sector within the provinces.
