SolidarMed "Discover how SolidarMed, in partnership with the Hilti Foundation and the Lichtenstein Development Service, is transforming nurse education in Zambia. With a critical shortage of health professionals hindering the country's development and impacting the well-being of its population, SolidarMed has pioneered a decentralized approach to nurse training. Unlike the traditional centralized model, the Decentralized Nurse Training Model focuses on underserved rural nursing colleges and leverages existing rural hospitals and clinics to create a networked ecosystem of practical training sites. This innovative approach allows students to gain early hands-on experience, develop crucial clinical skills, and assist short-staffed hospitals and clinics in patient management. The benefits are far-reaching."
