Investigating e-Learning's Potential to Strengthen Healthcare Workforces in Developing Nations

Abstract

This study examines how e-learning can strengthen the skills of healthcare professionals in developing countries combined with existing and emerging issues, including Covid-19. The objective of the study is to assess the rapid embracement of distance learning facilitated by digital technologies in meeting human resource and training challenges. While this is easier than ever, barriers such as technology constraint, digital literacy or relevance of the content are still common today. The methodology involves a comprehensive literature review and analysis of major case studies and success stories. The key elements highlighted in the literature review include institutional support as well as tailored e-learning strategies to increase efficacy. The study seeks to reveal proven initiatives of e-learning post assessment through different case studies which have situated themselves as the leaders by changing healthcare delivery and outcomes. The findings reveal a significant shift towards e-learning for healthcare workforces in developing nations. The results underscore the necessity of a multi-stakeholder partnership to design sustainable e learning interventions aimed at addressing educational access challenges and capacity building as part strengthening the health systems with limited resources.
