DPI conducting Health Workers For Change programme on community health workers
With community health workers regarded as ideal primary links with community members in the re-engineering of the country’s primary healthcare, DENOSA Professional Institute (DPI) is conducting a two-day workshop for community health workers working in the Tshwane District between 13 and 14 August at Arcadia Hotel, with the aim of influencing their attitude into a positive one. The workshop is conducted by DPI’s Wanda Mlotshwa and Thoko Kgongwana.
Today is last day. In Mpumalanga Sipho Khoza is conducted a similar workshop in Witbank.
