Malaria: Der direkte Nachweis
der Malariaerreger im Blut ist, trotz moderner molekularer
Diagnostikverfahren, immer noch die Referenzmethode der
Malariadiagnostik. Neben bio-logischen, epidemiologischen
und klinischen Aspekten ist darum der Hauptteil des Kurses
der Differen-tialdiagnose der Plasmodien gewidmet. Eine
Blinddiagnose am Schluss des Kurses ermöglicht die
Selbstevaluation des Lernerfolges.
Diagnostic du paludisme: La mise en
évidence des plasmodies dans le sang reste la procédure
diagnostique de référence même en
présence de tests de biologie moléculaire
modernes.
Lors de ce module, les aspects biologiques, épidémio-logiques,
et cliniques ainsi que des méthodes diagnostiques
sont enseignés. Une grande partie du cours est
consacrée au diagnostic différentiel au
microscope des quatre espèces plasmodiales. Un
test pratique d’auto-évaluation est proposé
en fin de journée.

Um die Eröffnung des ‚Tanzania
Training Centre for International Health, Ifakara’
gebührend zu markieren, haben wir uns entschlossen,
unser bewährtes Weiterbildungsprogramm für einmal
ausserhalb der Institutsmauern in Basel anzubieten. Aus
diesem Grund werden wir unseren Fortbildungskurs für
Laborpersonal zum Thema "Parasitologie in den Tropen"
in Ifakara durchführen, um den TeilnehmerInnen die
parasitologische Diagnostik sozusagen vor Ort näher
zu bringen.
Ziel des Kurses ist es, labordiagnostische Untersuchungen
zu erlernen oder vorhandenes Wissen zu vertiefen, das für
die Diagnostik importierter human-pathogener Erkrankungen
in der Schweiz relevant ist. Das abwechslungsreiche Programm
beinhaltet sechs ausgefüllte Tage mit Laborweiter-
und Fortbildung, praktisches Arbeiten im Feld sowie einen
Einblick in den Alltag medizinischen Arbeitens in Tansania.
Im Labor werden die wichtigsten Parasitengruppen besprochen
und im Mikroskop beobachtet. Zur Vertiefung dienen Vorstellungen
von Projekten der Parasitenbekämpfung, der Besuch einer
Mütterberatung, Parasitenuntersuchungen an Stuhl- und
Urinproben vonSchülern einer Dorfschule sowie beispielhafte
Besuche klassischer Übertragungsorte. Im Labor werden
die Proben mittels verschiedener Methoden untersucht, ausgewertet
und mögliche Bekämpfungsstrategien diskutiert.
Abgerundet wird das Programm durch Ärzte des St. Francis
Hospitals, die aus erster Hand über die aktuelle Problematik
von HIV und Tuberkulose informieren.
Selbstverständlich kommt auch das typische Afrika-Erlebnis
nicht zu kurz, sei es mit einer Fahrt im Einbaum auf dem
Kilombero Fluss oder einer Übernachtung im Mikumi Nationalpark,
wo die bekannten typischen Vertreter der afrikanischen Fauna
in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung beobachtet werden können. |

Dieses Modul soll den Teilnehmenden
erste Einblicke in das strategische Projektmanagement
bieten. Mit verschiedenen Tools und Planungshilfen (Project
Cycle Management, Logical Framework Approach) vereinfacht
sich der Prozess von der Problemdefinition über die
Zielfindung bis hin zur konkreten Planung einzelner Aktivitäten.
Thematisiert werden ebenfalls die Prinzipien und Implementationsschritte
des Projektmonitorings und der Projektevaluation.
Nach erfolgreicher Beendigung des Moduls
— kennen die Teilnehmenden die Grundlagen und Begriffe
des Project Cycle Management und dessen Bedeutung für
das strategische Management von Projekten
— sind die Teilnehmenden in der Lage, ein ausgewähltes
Gesundheitsproblem und die möglichen zugrunde liegenden
Faktoren in ihrer Bedeutung für die Projektplanung
zu analysieren
— kennen die Teilnehmenden die Systematik des Logical
Framework Approach und können mit diesem Tool eine
Projektplanungsskizze erarbeiten.
Inhalte:
— Theoretische Einführung in das strategische
Projektmanagement und das Project Cycle Management
— Problemdefinition mit einer Problem-Tree-Analyse
— Planung eines Forschungs- oder Interventionsprogramms
— Präsentation der ausgearbeiteten Projektplanungsskizzen
im Plenum. |
