Case studies

[[[image-0 medium]]]The DL4H - Distance Learning for Health project was undertaken by the London International Development Centre (LIDC) on behalf of the UK Department of Health. It involved  a global review of health training at a distance in low- and middle-income countries to provide a comprehensive overview of distance health training initiatives around the world. 

The project created a bank of case studies of innovative and effective programmes (documented 2008-2010) to evidence the value of distance learning as a means of addressing the need for trained health professionals across the developing world. 

The full report was launched in March 2011 and is available on the LIDC website. Listed here are some of the case studies most relevant to health education in sub-Saharan Africa.
