Exercise Track: Designing a mobile health programme in Colombia#
Overview#
This exercise track focuses on assessing the viability of proposed mobile health unit (MHU) stops in the Colombian border region with Venezuela. The exercise track has two parallel tracks focussing on two different expertise profiles: Track A is aimed at professionals working in Information Management and aims to teach how IM can support professionals working in the health sector. It requires a solid understanding of GIS. Track B focuses on Health professionals and teaches them the basics of GIS with practical examples in their field. The exercise track is designed to cover two entire days, where both teams will complete the exercises in parallel. At the end of each day, the groups can present their findings and results.
Exercises#
Track A: Exercise 1
In this exercise, we will evaluate proposed MHU stops and design a route along selected stops.
Track B: Exercise 1 ^^ The team is running a hospital with standard wards. Now they need to understand what area the hospital is covering, what specialities are underserved, how referral pathways actually look on the map, and, most importantly, how it changes in the rainy season
