The opening of the official Training/Training ceremony for Health professionals took place in Luanda, at the Health Technicians Training School.
The event, which was attended by entities from the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Health, their respective heads of Departments and different personalities, aims to improve the quality of care services and the working environment in the units of the health system.
According to the Minister of Health, Sílvia Lutucuta, the training will be subdivided into two stages, more generic training/training for professionals in general and another more technical and specific one for managers, supervisors, inspectors and inspectors.
“Humanizing health also means that individuals’ mentalities must undergo positive changes, creating new, more qualified professionals who can improve the health system”, highlighted the minister.
It will have 60 specialists to teach various topics framed in 11 modules, namely: General Ethics, Special Ethics, Social Health Service, User’s Office, Occupational Safety Hygiene, Biosafety, Social Determinants of Health, Reference System and counter-reference , Religious and Spiritual Spaces in Hospitals, Human Resources in Health and Digital Platform for Hospital and Out-of-Hospital Humanization.
Paulo Luvualo, nurse and president of the order of nurses in Angola, highlighted that this forum will be beneficial, because it will somewhat reduce the lack of humanization in hospitals and will be useful to refresh the knowledge of those professionals who have already studied ethics and humanization at school and will also educate those who have never heard of these principles.
The 10th class student of the physiotherapy course at the Luanda Health Technicians Training School, Emiliana Soares, highlighted that the activity was a great incentive for her and her colleagues.
“This activity shows that the minister and her delegation are concerned about future doctors and I believe that with this training health professionals will be able to improve care in hospitals”.
On the other hand, the Director of the Department of Ethics and Humanization of the Ministry of Health, Gervásio André Pukuta, stated that according to the 1st training module, General Ethics, the problem of the lack of humanization lies in man.
“I say that the problem of the lack of humanization is in the man, not in the ministry or health professionals. If the person at home does not know how to treat or be well with the family, it is clear that they will spill their problems into the hospital”.
To conclude, Minister Sílvia Lutucuta made the following appeal: “I ask all health professionals to make the most of the content taught and that the knowledge acquired truly serves to change our attitudes and practices”.
