A model for developing postgraduate trauma and emergency nursing capacity in a resource-constrained setting

The development of nursing in sub-Saharan Africa continues to be dogged by a multitude of factors ranging from high-level political control to the wide scale under-resourcing of nursing, resulting in critical nursing shortages [1]. Low- income, sub-Saharan countries such as Mozambique and Malawi are particularly at risk. Unlike Malawi, growth of the nursing profession in Mozambique is stunted primarily by slow progress towards professional autonomy and the lack of formal study opportunities for nurses and midwives.
