SURGhub iOS & Android learning app now available
SURGhub - the United Nations Global Surgery Learning Hub - is now available on iOS and Android.
SURGhub is an initiative led by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in partnership with the Global Surgery Foundation (GSF) and with the content curation process led by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). It provides a central UN-based platform for high-quality, context and curriculum appropriate learning content in global surgery. In doing so, SURGhub aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of the current and future global surgical care workforce.
In addition to its website, SURGhub is now available in a mobile app for Android and iOS. With the new mobile app, users will now be able to learn and earn certificates directly from their phones. The app allows the download of learning materials which is specifically beneficial to learners with low or costly internet bandwidth. By downloading course materials, including videos, on WIFI and accessing them at a later stage, high mobile network charges can be avoided.
