Effectiveness of a short-term oxygen therapy training program in Liberia during and after COVID-19
We demonstrate that the implementation of a healthcare worker training package in oxygen therapy during the COVID response in Liberia and its eventual integration into a routine in-service training program was able to achieve significant improvements in health care worker knowledge and skills. This highlights the feasibility of using rapid and short-term training to enhance clinical capacity within both emergency and post-response settings in a resource-limited country.
