InfPrev4frica - Inauguration of a New Erasmus+ Project on Education in Prevention
The inaugural meeting of the project "InfPrev4frica: Capacitating Sub-Saharian African HEI's to Educate Nursing Students for Sustainable and Innovative Infection Prevention and Control Practices" took place on July 17 to 21, 2023, in Lisbon and Coimbra in Portugal.
The aim of the InfPrev4frica project is to strengthen and expand teaching methods for nursing students in the area of hospital infection prevention and control in sub-Saharan African universities. An important part of the project is the extension of existing teaching techniques to include tailored simulations in the area of hospital infection prevention in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the development of an e-book as a basis for modifying teaching in this area. The project is funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme and will last three years.
During the meeting PUMS was represented by: Assoc Prof. Ewelina Chawłowska and Dr. Barbara Czech-Szczapa (Department of Health Prevention), Dr. Grażyna Bączyk (Department of Nursing) and Bożena Raducha (International Cooperation Section).
The project is being carried out in collaboration with two universities from Portugal: Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa and Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra, two universities from Tanzania: Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences - Bugando and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College, and two universities from Madagascar: Universite d'Antananarivo and Universite de Mahajanga.
