During the Curriculum Workshop, a Draft 1 Training Manual and other training and assessment materials, which were earlier developed, were reviewed. These constitute the tools that will be used for the training of healthcare workers in order to educate them in early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and early identification of people at risk of developing HCC. At the end of this workshop, a Draft 2 document was drawn and submitted to other trainers and the Head of the NCCP for them to review it.
The first training of healthcare workers is scheduled for the month of September 2022. It will be carried out for healthcare workers of the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.
