NORWAC started a new project in Gaza in May 2019.
The overall goal of the project is to increase the compentence of nursing in Gaza. Twenty-five students have been recruited representing most of the hospitals in Gaza.
The reason for the project
Nurses constitute around 60% of the MoH workforce and are important for improvement of quality and indicators of health care services in Gaza. The competency of neonatal nurses in Gaza needs to
be enhanced and specialized to integrate all technical, professional and management skills to deliver high quality care. This new program is part of MoH strategy towards continuous professional development of their employees. The aim of this project is to prepare competent practitioners, who are able to contribute to neonatal care standards and improve neonatal health indicators. The intended qualification from this program is to achieve a professional Diploma in Neonatal Nursing (post-graduate level). On successful completion, students will have achieved the essential competencies for four basic Neonatal nursing practices according to National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN), American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP), International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) and World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
