Online Training For Strengthening Primary Health Care Management In Nigeria
Online Training Outreach (ONTRO) is a sustainable talent development initiative designed to support progressive transformation and improvements in health system in Nigeria through use of innovation and technology.
ONTRO is being used to unlock the power of electronic technology to deepen the use of online training and mentoring in skills and competency development for improving health service delivery.
While considerable efforts have been made over the years in the country at all levels to increase the number of facilities that are functional and accessible, there is often limited effort on the skills and competencies of the health leaders and managers.
Incidentally, we are aware that constraints in leadership and management support systems are known to impact negatively on service delivery and health outcomes. This is especially so at a time, due to limited resources, there are near absence of continuing education, in-service trainings, on – the job trainings and orientations; and management support in form of supportive supervision, monitoring, mentoring and regular meetings.
Fortunately, application of information and communication technology to support capacity building for health care delivery is rapidly expanding and becoming increasingly important; and there is ever-increasing convergence between health and technology with healthcare going online and mobile
ONTRO has risen up to the challenges and high stakes in capacity building for health leadership and management through online training and mentoring programmes.
