Dear RHINOs,

Please see the announcement below about a francophone course in HIS. The brochure can be accessed here. 

Bonjour,

Vous trouverez ci-joint la brochure d’information concernant le cours intensif sur le Système d’information sanitaire (SIS) dans les pays en développement que l’école de santé publique de l’ULB organise en collaboration avec le CEMUBAC et AEDES.

Cette formation très  pragmatique vise à rendre les participants capables de structurer et d’utiliser l’information sanitaire à bon escient pour l’amélioration du fonctionnement des systèmes de santé.

Veuillez le diffuser largement aux personnes susceptibles d’être intéressées.

Le cours présentiel en Belgique se déroulera cette année du 2 au 30 mai 2012.

Cordialement
