CAPACITY BUILDING FOR HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION AND RESEARCH IN MALAWI (CHEER-MALAWI)

马拉维卫生专业教育和研究的能力建设（欢呼- 马拉维） 项目概要： 马拉维面临着双重负担，既有传染病的沉重负担， 非传染性疾病。根据最新的《全球疾病负担报告》（2013年），艾滋病毒和艾滋病（34.9%） 以及其他传染病，如疟疾、疟疾和呼吸道感染 (23.2%）是残疾调整寿命年（DADLS）的主要贡献者[1]。 根据《2011-2016年卫生部门战略计划一》，马拉维通过减少婴儿死亡率， 死亡率、5岁以下儿童死亡率、孕产妇死亡率和男女艾滋病毒流行率 15-49岁[2]。尽管取得了进展，但马拉维的孕产妇死亡率和新生儿死亡率仍属最高之列 于撒哈拉以南非洲的COM和KCN的教育计划在一定程度上有助于加强 通过提供职前保健服务以及培训基本保健服务后， 专业人员和相关健康研究的开展。 尽管COM和KCN培养的卫生专业人员人数有所增加，但仍存在显著差距。 尽管马拉维的人口规模正在迅速增长。进一步提高产量的挑战 从教育机构，同时保持和提高其毕业生的质量，要求创新 教学和研究方法。这可以通过提高卫生职业教育质量来实现 (HPE)通过在慧与建立卓越中心;加强研究能力， 管理;鼓励跨专业教育和培训;教育和培训的分散化 社区环境，包括农村和周边地区。这有可能增加获得保健的机会 教育，从而确保保健工作者的持续专业发展。这将通过 教育、社区和研究机构之间的长期和可持续协调， 以合作的方式解决国家的卫生需求。 这项拨款申请汇集了一个由目前正在研究的主要机构和个人组成的财团。 支持马拉维的卫生专业教育和研究。该联盟旨在 在COM内部建立能力，COM是唯一提供医学和学位培训的公立高等教育机构 水平的联合健康计划，如物理治疗，药学和医学实验室科学; KCN，唯一的 提供本科和研究生护理学位课程的高等教育机构; 马拉维健康科学学院（MCHS），文凭级专职医疗的主要培训机构 工作人员和护士;以及马拉维卫生和人口部，卫生保健的主要提供者， 服务，以确保在国家政策一级获得最大程度的支持和可持续性，并加强国际合作， 在教育、研究和服务提供方面的专业合作。 1

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION AND RESEARCH IN MALAWI (CHEER- Malawi) PROJECT SUMMARY: Malawi faces the double encumbrance of high burden of communicable diseases and an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases. From the latest Global Burden of Disease Report (2013), HIV and AIDS (34.9%) and other communicable conditions such as malaria, diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections combined (23.2%) are the major contributors to Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYS)[1]. Under the Health Sector Strategic Plan I 2011-2016, Malawi made substantial health gains by reducing infant mortality, Under-5 mortality, maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and HIV prevalence among women and men age 15-49 years[2]. Despite the progress, Malawi's MMR and neonatal mortality rate (NMR) are among the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Educational programs at COM and KCN have in part contributed to the strengthening of the health system through the production of pre-service as well as the training of post-basic health professionals and conduct of relevant health research. Despite the increase in the numbers of health professionals produced by both COM and KCN, significant gaps remaingiven theMalawian population is rapidly increasing in size. The challenge in further increasing the output from educational institutions, while maintaining and improving the quality of its graduates, call for innovative ways of pedagogy and research. This can be achieved by improving the quality of Health Profession Education (HPE) through establishment of a center of excellence in HPE; strengthening research capacity and governance; encouraging inter-professional education and training; and decentralizing education and training to the community setting including rural and peripheral sites. This has potential to increase access to health education thus ensuring continuing professional development of health care workers. This will be done through long-term and sustainable coordination between educational, community and research institutions in a collaborative manner to address the health needs of the nation. This grant application brings together a consortium of key institutions and individuals that are currently championing health profession education and research in Malawi. The consortium is purposefully designed to build capacity within COM, the only public higher education institution offering training in medicine and degree level allied health programs such as physiotherapy, pharmacy and medical laboratory science; KCN, the only higher education institution offering nursing degree programs at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; Malawi College of Health Sciences (MCHS), the major training institutions for diploma level allied health workers and nurses; and the Malawi Ministry of Health and Population (MOH), the major provider of health services, to ensure maximal buy-in at national policy level and sustainability as well as strengthening inter- professional collaboration in education, research and service delivery. 1
