Training Center
Public Health
International, because of the tremendous success of its public and
environmental health-training model in Ecuador, Peru, Nicaragua and Honduras,
is constructing a permanent training facility in the village of San Antonio,
Ecuador.
PHI’s training facility in
Ecuador will address the public and environmental health training needs of all
PHI projects and affiliated projects in Central and South America.
PHI’s
training center will provide:
Office space for PHI indigenous staff in
Ecuador.
A central location for the on-going public and
environmental health training for existing and new project villages in Ecuador.
A site where existing and future project
villages can send their health committee members to receive extended training
in public and environmental health applications.
A location where the local university (University
of Santa Elena) and other educational institutions in Ecuador can introduce new
and diverse subjects to project villages.
A location where PHI personnel from project
villages throughout Central and South America can come for training and
hands-on experience in villages applying the techniques studied during the
classroom training.
