There has been a decrease in primary care attendance in African peri-urban settings since the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with patient concerns about visiting a virus hotspot, primary care providers are known to be inadequate to care for people with COVID-19-like symptoms. Participants of the COVID-19 in Africa: Managing the Outbreak in Primary Care Settings certification course will learn about safe patient management, including PPE, infection control and prevention, and the pandemic's overall health impact. They will also learn how to build trust in low and middle-income countries that primary care settings can meet international COVID-19 safety standards.
