Event Description:

In March ,We participated in the ongoing curriculum review for the nurses curriculum in Zambia by strengthening the ear and hearing care component . We had 1 consultative meeting with the Nursing midwifery council of Zambia and principles from various nursing colleges from different parts of the country . This yielded to a pilot project for training of the trainer (about 30 trainers) who were also equipped with otoscopes , headlights and ear probes.This marked a partnership between EHC professionals and nursing colleges that will translate to better prepared nurses in EHC.
