28. When you look in
textbooks it’s difficult to
find African cases. The

can be confusing when
you see something that
you see on white skin so
nicely and very easy to
pick up, but on the dark
skin it has a different
manifestation that may be
difficult to see.

29. The mission of the African
Health Open Educational
Resources (OER) Network (est.
2008) is to advance health
education in Africa by creating
and promoting free, openly
licensed teaching materials
created by Africans to share
knowledge, address curriculum
gaps, and support health
education communities. www.oerafrica.org/healthoer

30. Gather Existing Materials
Assist health professionals in finding materials that
are free, electronic, and openly licensed (i.e.
expressly allow the general public to use, adapt,
copy, and redistribute)
APPROACH
Facilitate
Discussion
Foster dialogue
between health
professionals around
pedagogy, policy,
peer review, and openness
via onsite consultation,
discussion lists, conference
calls, and newsletters
