How did we achieve 30% reduction in unnecessary surgical referrals, providing teaching opportunities for district clinicians and improving feedback and communication - all at the same time?
Our colleague Gerald Mawapasa tells us more about this in a new Take a Minute video. Group Model Building is part of SURG-Africa methodology to understand the needs of district hospitals. Through this method, people are brought together to discuss their realities at work and how to improve them.
Dr Henk Broekhuizen, a postdoctoral researcher, tells us more in this Take a minute video. SURG-Africa used the Training for Trainers as part of its methodology to provide all mentors with the same set of tools. Mentees in Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia received the same quality training.
Professor Chris Lavy from Oxford University tells us about it. SURG-Africa uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach engaging relevant stakeholders in the sector, in Tanzania, Malawi & Zambia for the design of a country-specific, needs-driven intervention.
