Post-training supervision | Resourcing | Regional finance | “we don’t have the money to pay the staff. We don’t have the money to buy the fuel, to maintain the vehicle. Yes, so you cannot go to the villages.” (key informant) |
Human resource development | Prioritisation of eye health | “Because since we got the eye care training, they did not prioritise it, within the health facilities of management they did not prioritise. Because they didn’t give it priority, we asked at least we could have support, regular supervision. This could help us and update us with information because many people in the communities have many problems to do with the eyes but they do not know.” (Male Clinical Officer) | |
Confidence in skills | “I think I can benefit, because if people come here for supervision I will have a chance to explain how I feel about the work, I will have also a chance to explain what I need and maybe I need to know something about this. What if a patient come with this... hmm maybe a patient come with an eye injury so how am I going to manage that person before I, he reach there. So something like that.” (Female Nurse) |
