RAISE Training

About the RAISE Training Centre

The RAISE Training Centre is located in Nairobi, Kenya, at the Marie Stopes Eastleigh Nursing Home. Eastleigh has been a centre of quality health care for the local population since 1990, renowned for its commitment to providing family planning and emergency obstetric care (EmOC).

Formally opened in April 2007, the RAISE Training Centre provides a much needed venue for training health care providers in RH skills for use in emergency humanitarian situations.

The RAISE Training Centre offers health professionals operating in humanitarian crises the opportunity to develop and update their clinical skills in a top-quality environment, thus enabling them to provide critical RH services upon return to the refugee camps and health facilities in which they work.

RAISE also collaborates with the l'Institut Africain de Santé de la Reproduction (IASAR) (African Institute of Reproductive Health) in Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, to provide the clinical training and follow-up in French.

RAISE is a joint initiative of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and Marie Stopes International | E-mail List | Staff
