AMREF courses and training programs
A well-trained corps of health workers is the foundation of an effective health care system in Africa. That's why AMREF opened its International Training Center in Nairobi, which has become an important institution for the training of regional health workers.
The Diploma in Community Health course has seen graduates from all over Africa, in turn spreading improved health practices and bettering the lives of communities across the continent.
With a range of diploma and short specialized courses, a world class resource center and information services, and a continually growing collection of health learning materials, AMREF has become an African leader in the training of community health workers, all of whom play a vital role in our mission to eradicate poverty and change lives.

The 'doctors' of Southern Sudan
Innovative training practices help to minimize the unfortunate effects of doctor shortages in sub-Saharan Africa.
Southern Sudan has successfully implemented a novel task-shifting solution, whereby duties normally performed by doctors are assigned to clinical officers. In a paper published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization, Dr. Peter Ngatia and Victoria Kimotho present a study that traces the progress of clinical officers who have graduated from the National Health Training Institute in Maridi.
Help train peer educators
AMREF's goal is to work within communities to create better health in Africa. We do this, in part, by training peer educators, local community members who can educate other people disease prevention, such as catching harmful diseases.
Donating $40 to AMREF will train a peer educator so that he or she can help prevent disease and save lives.
