Project ECHO
Infectious Disease ECHO
As Dr. Bushra Ibnauf Center for Learning in Juba, South Sudan takes shape, SAMA is planning to commence the activities with the Infectious Disease ECHO program. This program will enhance the capabilities of frontline healthcare providers in combating HIV, TB, and Hepatitis B in South Sudan and sub-Saharan Africa.
The core objective of this program is to bolster the proficiency of healthcare professionals in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of these infectious diseases, while also emphasizing the importance of health promotion and prevention strategies tailored to the specific needs of the region. By integrating the latest guidelines and updates into the local healthcare context, the program aims to empower providers with the knowledge and tools necessary to deliver optimal care to patients
The call for experts in HIV is now open for enrollment in the Infectious Disease ECHO program. We invite professionals with expertise in HIV to join us in this initiative aimed at enhancing the capacity of healthcare providers, click here to learn more.

Facility upgrade in Dr. Bushra Ibnauf Center for Learning in Port Sudan
As temperature and humidity rise in Port Sudan, and power outages become more frequent, there is an essential need for solar panel powered air conditioning.
To that effect, SAMA is expanding its’ current solar panel capacity and purchasing solar panel-friendly air conditioning. This vital step comes to maintain the ideal learning environment at the center and ensure the smooth flow of the planned activities.

Bringing virtual reality training to Sudan
We are excited to share that the SAMA team recently joined the VRiMS program held in Burundi. This innovative program utilizes extended reality (XR) to provide advanced simulation training, offering immersive and interactive learning experiences.
In Burundi, SAMA witnessed firsthand the transformative potential of this technology. The VRiMS program is designed to enhance practical skills through realistic simulations, making it an invaluable tool for training in various surgical fields.
Building on the success of our participation, we are now planning to introduce this immersive technology to Sudan. Our goal is to leverage XR to revolutionize training methodologies, improve skill acquisition, and ultimately contribute to the development of highly competent professionals in Sudan.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting initiative as we work towards bringing VRiMS to Sudan. Click here to learn more about VRiMS and get informed about SAMA/VRiMS future plans
