我们的工作

莱索托艾滋病协会与政府合作，处理艾滋病毒/艾滋病对莱索托的影响。我们致力于建立可持续项目加强管理、政策、规划、卫生部门和临床能力。Our work has shown that providing high-quality clinical training and building support networks among professionals boosts morale, improves retention, and significantly improves healthcare delivery.

核心项目:

Physician Recruitment and Postgraduate Training

针对莱索托卫生专业人员严重短缺的问题，莱索托卫生和社会福利部于2008年与卫生部合作制定了家庭医学专业培训方案。这个为期四年的家庭医学专业培训计划（FMSTP）是莱索托第一个完全认可的医生培训计划。Since there is no medical school in Lesotho, talented Basotho students leave Lesotho each year to attend medical school abroad. 这些医科学生被更高的工资和更好的工作条件所吸引，很少返回莱索托工作。In 2012, after a very comprehensive evaluation of the program that included several site visits from experts from South Africa, the Lesotho Council on Higher Education (CHE) first granted full accreditation in December 2015. The FMSTP is now not only the first, but the first fully accredited, physician training program ever in Lesotho.

The young physicians in the FMSTP are assigned to rural districts where they each hold management positions (DMO or hospital superintendent). 他们每月与全体教员开会一周，进行临床、质量改进、公共卫生和管理培训。These sessions provide needed professional support and collegiality. They attend monthly educational meetings held for all health professionals that we organize, and an annual conference with colleagues from across the continent. 他们参与实习和学生教学，进行澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究和发表论文。After 4 years they are awarded the MMedFam degree designating them as specialists and compensated on the consultant pay scale. 毕业生在临床和政府服务中备受追捧，提供理想的职业发展轨道。

LeBoHA now confers the Masters of Medicine in Family Medicine degree, and runs the newly initiated 2-year national internship program. Our approach is to recruit talented Basotho physicians back home to complete high quality postgraduate specialty training in their home country, improve retention through support of trainees and graduates and improve management of district hospitals.

Nursing Education and Professional Support

Prior to LeBoHA programs, most nurse-midwives and nurses staffing the health centers have been practicing years or even decades since their pre-service training with no opportunity to refresh or advance their delivery skills. Nurses no longer have the skills required to treat high risk individuals, manage complications or emergencies, or provide appropriate referrals at the community level.

LeBoHA多年来一直支持护理教育和培训。LeBoHA是第一个在莱索托开展在职护理和助产培训项目的组织。因此，LeBoHA支持卫生部和护理顾问制定护理政策和程序，以便使莱索托的护理和助产服务标准化。LeBoHA护士培训手册现已被采纳为国家卫生部课程。

LeBoHA护理方案的第二个主要倡议是莱索托孕产妇和新生儿健康绩效融资项目，卫生部在该项目中资助每个地区的一名助产士护士在南非接受高级助产培训。这些护士助产士被期望将他们的知识和技能传授给整个地区的其他护士助产士，但没有支持性的课程、结构或流程来促进这种知识转移。With support from the Izumi Foundation, LeBoHA started a midwifery training program in the Leribe district to partner with and support Motebang Hospital’s nurse-midwife to train nurse-midwives from 16 health centers throughout the Leribe district. 由于该计划的成功，莱索托卫生部正在寻求将该培训计划扩大到其他五个地区。

比尔·比克内尔学术中心

比尔比克内尔学术中心是居民在接触会议期间停留的地方。它是由游客使用M在世界各地。与全球初级保健一起，LeBoHA为比尔·比克内尔（Bill Bicknell）筹集了资金，他是公共卫生先驱，曾率领波士顿大学第一个代表团前往莱索托。

在美国国际开发署（USAID）海外美国学校和医院项目（ASHA）的资助下，LeBoHA目前正在建造三栋房屋，第二个宿舍作为“比尔·比克内尔之家”的补充，并在莱索托莱里贝区北部转院医院莫特邦医院（Motebang Hospital）附近占地7英亩的土地上建造一个大型行政、教学和澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究学术中心。

Civil Society Strengthening

LeBoHA has also worked to strengthen health professional civil society. 在欧洲联盟的支持下，我们执行了一项为期4年的方案，旨在支持非政府卫生协会和监管机构并增强它们的能力莱索托的机构，我们认为这些机构在确定、确定优先次序和解决该国的卫生问题方面发挥着重要作用。为了实现这一目标，我们与莱索托医学协会、护士协会、莱索托医学、牙科和药房理事会以及护理理事会合作，将这些组织与南非的合作伙伴联系起来，并设计旨在协助这些组织开展工作的程序、协议和商业计划。There were many successes of this program including the organization and institutionalization of a national program required for continuing nursing education credits and collaboration in the “Learning and Sharing Forum, student caucuses, LMA Journal among others. 这些项目与这些组织建立了良好的关系。LeBoHA和LMA现在在马塞卢共用办公空间。
