Occupational Health in Developing Countries

The Centre for International Health at the University of Bergen (UiB), Norway, together with colleagues at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia and Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Tanzania, has created a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to reach health personnel all over the world – with the purpose of improving health and life of workers in developing countries. The course "Occupational Health in Developing Countries" is free for everyone to attend.
The first course starts 7 March 2016, and it is possible to sign up now. The course is at Master level but can be attended by anyone interested in work and health.
The course is teaching basic knowledge on work and health and how to prevent the development of diseases and injuries, caused by working conditions. The industrial activity in the developing countries is increasing, but focus on the working conditions is not following. Both the industry and the health services worldwide lack knowledge about the high risk of injuries and death in the work place. As a result, millions of people are getting hurt. This course is a contribution to reduce the problem.
