This project has promoted health research, education and evidence-based practice in Africa through the creation of centers of excellence, by using ICT, know-how, eLearning and knowledge sharing, through web-enabled virtual communities. This skills building workshop at Med-e-Tel will show all potentialities and experiences gained through the AFRICA BUILD portal (ABP), from the ICT profile to the benefitting educational role to health researchers and other health care professionals and biomedical informatics developers, deployed in resource-limited and/or North countries.
