The article discusses an eLearning/mLearning program initiated by the Human Resource Division of Ghana's Ministry of Health, in collaboration with various organizations including USAID, UNFPA, Intel, and the World Health Organization. The program, funded under USAID's Maternal and Child Survival Program, aims to improve learning opportunities for health institution students in Ghana by providing an electronic platform for accessing educational content. The program has been piloted in six schools and is expected to expand to more institutions by 2017. It addresses challenges such as large class sizes, high student-instructor ratios, and outdated teaching materials. The Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication has supported the initiative by providing computers and accessories, and students and tutors have access to laptops through a 'rent to own' scheme. The article includes positive feedback from a midwifery student and a school principal on the convenience and effectiveness of the eLearning program.
