For them this means that they can continue to practice their profession.<\/p>\n<p>In the 60\u2019s two schools were set up in Benin. One was for nurses and one for midwives, these schools later merged into the National Medical-Social Institute (INMES). Despite the efforts of INMES, since the 60\u2019s no structural training process has been set up that can meet the current national level requirements. For this reason INMES with the help of CINOP has started working on retraining formerly qualified nurses and midwives so that they may again meet the requirements .<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 3,000 nurses and midwives were trained at college level, while the current students have to complete a bachelor&#8217;s degree. The project aims to build a bridge \u201cla passerelle\u201d to upgrade these former students to meet the temporary criteria through extra courses. As part of a Nuffic OKP program, this project is being carried out in collaboration with INMES, CINOP and KIT. CINOP will take on the task of innovating the curriculum so that the bridge can be built.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know more about this project?
