In an interview with Informative Newspaper, the IDM Country Director Dr. Ret\u0161elisitsoe Nko said the course has been accredited by the Council on Higher Education<\/p>\n<p>(CHE), a statutory body mandated to accredit programmes and promote quality assurance in the tertiary institutions. Dr.<\/p>\n<p>Nko further mentioned that the course was borne out of the institute\u2019s market research and survey on the immediate governmental needs and national development priorities.<\/p>\n<p>He said while they were about to launch the program last year, there was an outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic which he said made the course to become more<\/p>\n<p>relevant. The IDM Country Director said the course will accommodate the training of trainers and the people working within the emergency rescue field.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the course\u2019s relevance also extend to people within the family level to equip them with the essential skills such as performing Cardiopulmonary<\/p>\n<p>Resuscitation (CPR) common in both medical and paramedical fields.
