More than 3,20,000 learners enrol in WHO’s online COVID-19 courses

World Health Organisation updates that its Massive Online Open Course at www.OpenWHO.org has now over 3,23,000 enrollments for #COVID19 courses. The online courses provide learning resources for health professionals, decision-makers and the public. As the pandemic continues to evolve, new resources will be added, additional language versions will continue to be rolled out, and existing courses will be updated to best reflect the changing context. OpenWHO is WHO’s new interactive, web-based, knowledge-transfer platform offering online courses to improve the response to health emergencies. It was developed in 2017 as part of pandemic preparedness together with the “managing epidemic” handbook.
