Media Statement: Using online training to fight against the coronavirus disease
outbreak in Indonesia
Access to critical information and better understanding about the new strain of coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) is pivotal during the current evolving outbreak. Training can help limit
the spread of misinformation and rumour among the public, as well as support the medical
professionals who manage patients at the front line. The global WHO Health Emergencies
Programme has been investing in learning and training opportunities to strengthen
preparedness and real-time emergency response to the international outbreak, and has
recently launched several informative training modules about COVID-19 on its platform in
both English and Bahasa Indonesia.
The course “Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) for novel coronavirus (COVID-19)” is a
three-part series providing preparedness information on how health facilities can respond
to a case of COVID-19 including the correct IPC measures to ensure there is no further virus
transmission to healthcare workers, other patients and visitors in the facility. The modules
consist of a mixture of videos and downloadable presentations. A second training, titled
“Health and safety briefing for respiratory diseases – ePROTECT” provides a general
introduction to acute respiratory infections and basic hygiene measures to protect against
infection. The dual language courses are both tailored specifically to support healthcare
workers and public health professionals to scale up activities for COVID-19.Since their
release earlier this week, the Bahasa Indonesia versions of the two health courses have
already amassed more than 3 000 enrolments collectively. The free learning resources are
available to anyone interested in COVID-19 on both WHO Indonesia’s website and
OpenWHO.org, WHO’s open learning platform for emergencies.
The Open WHO platform was established 3 years ago to support emergency health scenarios
where WHO needs to reach millions of people across the globe with real-time, accessible
learning materials. For the latest information on the coronavirus disease outbreak in
Indonesia, visit the designated WHO Indonesia coronavirus disease (COVID-19) page.
