Public Health laboratory Ivo de Carneri (PHL-IdC) will host one-week attachment for East African Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

Around two thirds of the course will focus on tropical infectious diseases, including TB, HIV and malaria. Students will also spend a week in the laboratory learning how to identify parasitic infections.

The practical work will be accompanied by clinical case-based discussions. The remaining third of the course will be spent examining contemporary issues in East African healthcare, including the clinical assessment of infants and children, maternal health in resource-limited settings and an introduction to clinical epidemiology.
