Health Informatics Education and Capacity Building in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Simply attempting to transpose a successful course from one country and culture to another is not a guarantee of success. Educational staff delivering such courses need to take account of local context and culture, be flexible and prepared to adapt to students' needs and circumstances, which may be beyond anyone's control. However, by meeting real identified needs, success can contribute to sustaining capacity building and the development of the local health informatics workforce.
