MedShr’s new COVID-19 education programme for Africa and Middle East to include teaching cases, local data and guidance for managing COVID-19 patients in resource-poor environments. 

We are pleased to announce a new programme to support doctors and other healthcare professionals in Africa and the Middle East in the diagnosis and management of COVID-19. 

Registration is free, and doctors taking part will be able to:

• Learn about COVID-19 signs, symptoms and complications, and how these may present in the context of other infectious diseases and comorbidities

• Adapt their local COVID-19 diagnosis and management strategies based on learnings from other countries and advice specific to resource-poor or high-risk environments

• View and discuss X-rays, CTs and other clinical images from real COVID-19 cases shared by doctors in Europe, China and the UK

• Receive curated COVID-19 news and developments including the latest relevant guidelines, vaccine and drug research and social distancing strategies 

• Safely post radiographs, CTs and other clinical images straight from their smartphone to share knowledge with colleagues from around the world in real time

The programme is supported by the Austrian Development Agency. Vienna-based INiTS, one of Europe’s top business incubators, is a strategic partner for the programme.
