With the financial support of the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), 19 training centers in Tajikistan received training equipment free of charge.
The equipment was donated as part of the project “Creating an Integrated Primary Health Care System in Tajikistan (BaSIC)” to support medical personnel in improving their skills and abilities.
Medical personnel working in remote areas will be able to improve their skills and knowledge with the equipment provided by the project, which will also give them access to information and communication technologies.
With high levels of poverty and two-thirds of the country's population living in rural areas, Tajikistan's primary health care system and the quality of health worker training are critical to improving the population's access to health services.
Thus, the BaSIC project actively contributes to improving the access and quality of delivery of integrated primary health care services.
The project covers 28 districts and aims to improve the skills of family doctors, nurses and midwives, as well as to strengthen the organizational capacity of PHC centers to ensure the provision of high-quality services in the field of primary health care.
The BaSIC project is part of the Health Development Program of the European Union in the Republic of Tajikistan for the period 2021-2025.
19 educational and clinical centers of the republican, regional and district levels received various equipment purchased according to the results of the needs assessment. This list includes a laser printer, 54 mobile tablets, 85 desktop computers with UPS, headphones and mice, 16 laptops, cameras, 22 printers, 18 digital whiteboards, 17 webcams, 29 air conditioners, 2 refrigerators for two dormitories, 15 oil coolers , as well as furniture, tables, chairs - everything that is necessary for the modern educational process.
The transfer ceremony was attended by the program manager of the EU Delegation in Tajikistan - Deniz Molika, the director of the GIZ health program in Tajikistan Natasha Bolmann, representatives of medical schools and other officials.
The BaSIC project in Tajikistan aims to strengthen the knowledge and skills of family doctors, nurses, midwives by promoting a system of continuing medical education based on a credit system, strengthening the mentoring system, as well as through the development of an educational infrastructure for training specialists at the postgraduate level.
