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

马拉维卫生专业教育和研究能力建设（欢呼- 马拉维） 项目概要： 马拉维面临着传染病负担沉重和疾病负担日益加重的双重负担。 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，例如疟疾、腹泻病和呼吸道感染 (23.2%) 是伤残调整生命年 (DALYS) 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、5 岁以下儿童死亡率、孕产妇死亡率 (MMR) 以及女性和男性的艾滋病毒感染率 15-49岁[2]。尽管取得了进展，马拉维的 MMR 和新生儿死亡率 (NMR) 仍然位居最高之列 在撒哈拉以南非洲。 COM 和 KCN 的教育计划在一定程度上有助于加强 通过提供岗前教育和岗后基础卫生培训来建立卫生系统 专业人员并进行相关的健康研究。 尽管 COM 和 KCN 培养的卫生专业人员数量有所增加，但差距仍显着 鉴于马拉维人口规模正在迅速增加。进一步提高产量的挑战 教育机构在保持和提高毕业生质量的同时，呼吁创新 教学和研究的方法。这可以通过提高卫生职业教育质量来实现 (HPE) 通过建立 HPE 卓越中心；加强研究能力和 治理；鼓励跨专业教育和培训；以及分散教育和培训 社区环境，包括农村和周边地区。这有可能增加获得健康的机会 教育，从而确保卫生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的协调 合作方式来满足国民的健康需求。 该赠款申请汇集了目前正在研究的主要机构和个人组成的联盟 倡导马拉维的卫生专业教育和研究。该联盟的目的是 COM 是唯一提供医学和学位培训的公立高等教育机构 级别联合健康计划，如物理治疗、药剂学和医学实验室科学； KCN，唯一 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），文凭级别联合健康的主要培训机构 工人和护士；以及马拉维卫生和人口部 (MOH)，该部是卫生服务的主要提供者 服务，以确保国家政策层面的最大程度支持和可持续性，并加强相互之间的合作 教育、研究和服务提供方面的专业合作。 1
