Friends of African Nursing
(UK, 1113054) Browse events
YTD Raised: £200.11Friends of African Nursing is one of only a handful of charities working in Africa that provide skills updates for nurses. Since we began in 2001, health ministries in 11 countries have invited us in. Further training is otherwise rarely available to the nurses. We have trained more than 2,000 nurses. With your help we can train thousands more. This means patients received better quality care, and nurses are more competent and confident in their work. Nurses from Lesotho in answer to the question “What will you do differently after this course” said “ I will be very strict on adherence to sterility and proper hand washing. Persuade my procurement unit to buy a board for recording swab count and instruments.” And another “I am going to change most of the procedures we have long been doing in my department – ventilation, we have used for cooling and heating and not for infection prevention.” and“ teach colleagues and implement the way to alleviate anxiety of the patient pre-operatively.” Our team of skilled volunteers give their time and expertise for free. 96% of the money we raise goes directly to carrying out our mission. Find out more about the difference we make by going to www.foan.org.uk and meet some of the people we have supported in Africa.
