An evaluation of IMCI paediatric teaching at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Gezira took place in Gezira State, Sudan, from 7 to 10 December 2009. It was conducted by an external team with international and national members.
The objectives of the evaluation were to:
- assess whether IMCI paediatric teaching, introduced at Faculty of Medicine of the University of Gezira in 2002, improved student competencies in managing under-five children;
- make recommendations to further strengthen the teaching programme; and
- build national capacity for these evaluations.
As an intermediate step, the evaluation also aimed to assess the quality of teaching resulting from the introduction of IMCI in paediatrics teaching.
