Neonatal Nurses Association of Southern Africa (NNASA)

NNASA was formed in 2007 by a small group of passionate neonatal nurses who saw a need to improve the standard of neonatal care in the region by supporting and encouraging the nurses caring for these vulnerable babies. The association aims to encourage and reward excellence in neonatal care through a national neonatal excellence award; to improve skills and knowledge through regional workshops; to foster collaboration and support between nurses in state and private institutions through regional networks; to improve standards of care through the provision of evidence based best practice gui

Meeting information needs for mental health - addressing myths and stigma

12 January, 2017

HIFA (Healthcare Information For All) is seeking collaborators to explore how to increase the availability and use of reliable information on mental health, for the prevention and management of mental illness in low- and middle-income countries - and how to reduce misinformation, myth and stigma.

We have several eminent global mental health professionals among our members. In 2017 we aim to expand the depth and breadth of our discussions in this area. If you have an interest in global mental health, please join us.

HIFA Access to Health Research: From dialogue to action

19 December, 2016

The HIFA Access to Health Research working group is supporting a third thematic discussion here on HIFA from 19 December 2016 to 13 January 2017 around the following four questions:

1. How can research be made available in the right language, both for producers as well as consumers of health research?

2. How can we improve access to the full text of research papers?

3. How can we improve access to complementary and derivative publications (eg plain-language summaries, commentaries, policy briefs)?

Enablement

Enablement is specialised in Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Disability Inclusive Development (DID). Training, research and consultancy are at the heart of our work. We are a company that runs on a not-for-profit basis. Rather than measuring our success by financial profits, we prefer to measure the social impact of our actions for persons with disabilitie in predominantly lower and middle-income countries. We permanently try to bridge the gap between academic and government bodies and grassroots practitioners.
