World Health Organisation launches eLearning initiative for global public health - PublicTechnology.net
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has launched a new eLearning initiative, the Health Academy, in collaboration with Cisco Systems. The Health Academy is a novel approach to improve health through information technology. It will provide the general public with health information and knowledge required for preventing diseases and following healthier lifestyles. The mission of the Health Academy is to demystify medical and public health practices and to make the knowledge of health specialists available to all citizens of the world through Internet-based technology. It will promote good health by explaining essential public health functions in a language that all people can understand, taking into consideration their individual cultural sensitivities. Two pilot studies spanning the 2003-2004 academic year have just begun, one in Egypt and the other in Jordan.
