Healthcare Worker Training & Mentorship
Part of Clinical Training & Systems Engineering
At Preterm Infants Parents Network Uganda (PIPNU), we strengthen the frontline health workers who care for preterm and vulnerable newborns. Our Healthcare Worker Training & Mentorship Program equips nurses, midwives, community health workers, and Village Kangaroo Ambassadors with practical skills, confidence, and ongoing support to provide high-quality, family-centered care.
