This course has already been introduced in English speaking countries by the IDI (Infectious Diseases Institute) of the Makerere University in Uganda.
Five trainers from Mali were identified and invited to Kampala to attend the course in English and benefit from the training of trainers.
The first pilot course was given at the Charles Merieux Conference Centre in Mali from September 5-16, 2011, to 18 trainees from military health staff in Mali and financed by the American Department of Defense.
As the results were extremely satisfying, the Accordia Foundation has asked the Centre to organise four further sessions in 2012.
