Additional Information / Shotlist 00:00:03 --> 00:00:19 – ITV: Jal Gatkek, Learner, MSF Academy
VO: I have a desire to help people, since I come from an area where there is actually no doctors here and the health workers are no longer there, being remote. So I really want to help my community by being a nurse.

Decades of conflict and underinvestment in healthcare in South Sudan have caused severe shortages in the health infrastructure and a lack of qualified healthcare workers

To address these gaps, the MSF Academy for Healthcare implements learning programmes endorsed by the national Ministry of Health

00:00:43 --> 00:01:15 – ITV: Serviour Dombojena, MSF Academy South Sudan Country Representative
VO: The MSF Academy initiative was set up in 2017 in order to ensure that the teams that we work with in all those areas which are low-resource settings, we don't have sufficient medical staff, and there are no training schools available. So we end up working with people whom we take from the community and build their capacities. It means we want to improve the knowledge, we want to improve the skills and want to improve the attitudes of our teams towards provision of nursing care.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:52 – ITV: Tabitha Nyayual, MSF Academy Graduate
VO: We were doing these procedures for long but with this training, we have learned something better. We were trained to diagnose the patient’s pain and how to examine them. For patients who can not eat, we were taught how to fix the nasogastric tube.

VO: All this we are doing so that at the end, not only is the quality of care improved, but we also have teams that remain in the projects, in the communities who are able to carry on with the activities even in the event of MSF stopping their activities in that place.

VO: This is a big chance for me, and it is a big opportunity because I can gain skills that I will practically use to help people in the community.
