Training key to improving health services

Trends are changing fast in the labour industry and more than before, the need to improve skills is growing for many professionals. Many people are not able to afford fees to go back to school so they rely more on capacity building offered through their organisations.

This is more so pronounced in the health sector where there is little support in terms of equipping workers with extra skills that would make their work easier and more effective. The World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of capacity-building as the development and strengthening of human and institutional resources aptly captures the concept.
