Malaria Microscopy Training and Certification Programme

We have an internationally recognized INTERNATIONAL MALARIA MICROSCOPY TRAINING CENTER with our curriculum designed to undertake 5 – 7, 10 days, 2 weeks – 4 weeks training programme and refresher course for various categories of health worker. This guarantees accurate and reliable malaria diagnosis for better patient management and the production of reliable base-line data for assessing the impact of any intervention. Health workers in the private and public sectors are trained to acquire skills in detecting malaria even in lower densities, quantifying malaria parasitaemia , species identification, internal quality control mechanisms and provided with Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) templates , Microscope maintenance skills, etc to enable them perform optimally. Strictly speaking, this training arm is part of our malaria diagnosis quality assurance programme.

Course on Effective Malaria/Fever Case Management for HCPs

Malaria is one of the febrile illnesses in Nigeria. In clinical training, it is suggested that patients with fever should be suspected to have malaria and be treated as such. The index of suspicion for malaria was therefore very high. Thus, most patients that present with fever are most likely to be treated for malaria. However, the realities based on current data shows that the contribution of malaria to febrile illness is indeed low.
