This is the second time that JICA representatives have carried out training at GPHC.

Medical equipment was also donated to the hospital by JICA to carry out the paediatric training.

JICA’s Representative Sumiko Yoshida highlighted that the nurses who attended the training were fully involved and recorded 100% attendance.
