The training was very
effective; we had most if not all the materials that were
required which made the practicals very interesting. The
facilitators were just excellent and the people rather staff of
the training premises were good, even the accommodation. The
problem came in when it came to food, we were subjected to the
same type of food that became monotonous, and other participants
were forgoing their meals. There is a great need to improve on
food if the training is to take place at this venue in
future.But all in all this type of trainings need to be taking
place often as it helps in malaria microscopy a great deal, it
is an eye opener. I enjoyed it and would be happy to see many
acquiring this knowledge.In a few words I want to thank all the
facilitators. They understood everybody, and they know how to
teach someone to do something. About NCTA, this kind of training
is very necessary for the microscopie
Thank you! BURKINA-FASO
The training was generally very
successful. The travelling arrangements were very good. We left
Lagos for Accra on the 6th October 2007 and arrived at
about 400pm. We were received at the airport on arrival and were
accommodated in a very good hostel-Jaira hotel. Our journey to
kintampo on 7th October 2007 was well organised and safe.
The accommodation and the meals
provided at the training venue –KHRC was good. The training was well
organised and the facilitators did very well. The facilities for the
training were adequate. I thank the MCTA for sponsoring me to
participate in the microscopy training. I found the training very
necessary and useful to my work and career. Once again thanks.

I thank MCTA to all it did to
this training. We have leant many things and we want this kind of
training by six months in the year. SENEGAL
The training was excellent, I
appreciate all the facilitators for the knowledge they have, farther
more the materials used in the training are very nice, the
microscopes, handout, and the whiteboard, with an exception of our
projector (overhead slides).In the case of accommodation
there was no problem. Meal: the meal prepared was not
nice at all it was difficult for us who came from far to eat that
kind of meal daily, I hope there will be changes for the future. Travelling: our travel was so
nice but we found no one to take us to kitampo at the airport
(Accra) it gave us a lot of problems as this was our first time in
Ghana, we spent a lot of money from our pockets to pay bills for the
hotels, travelling to kintampo and the meals.
In my conclusion, this type of
training is more beneficial, its very helpful and necessary. Aside
of problems the training benefited us.
Thanks

The training in malaria
microscopy which was conducted at the KHRC for a period of three
weeks as from 8/10/2007 to 27/10/07 took place well as per the
schedule despite some few problems here and there.
The facilitators tried their
level best in imparting to the participants, the knowledge that was
required .the equipment used, e.g. microscopes were fairly good. The
participants, on the other were cooperative and ensured a smooth
running of the sessions by being punctual all the time.
Much improvement need to be done
on the side of accommodation and food-wise many participants
complained of the food type being local as they had come fro
different cultural backgrounds. The diet (meals) were monotonous
monolithic and not diversified for the different international
cultural background KENYA
We regards to the workshop
itself. The facilitators did their best to teach us what we leafy
ought to know about malaria microscope. All aspects of training.
Including oral presentation and practical, were handled with
excellence and professionation, facilities available for the
training were also satisfactory.
Services and quality with
regards to meals eating need to improve.
To conclude with. I will like to
express my sincere gratitude to MCTA for the sponsorship to this all
important workshop which had really elevated my skills in malaria
microscope.
Thanks TANZANIA
I was received at Accra airport
around 4pm and taken to jaria hotel. Our travelling to kintampo was
safe and well organised. The training started 8th October
2007-11-06 the facilitators are quite friendly, active and excellent
during the training and they are adequate.
I thank MCTA for sponsoring me
to participate in the training program and found it useful for me
and for my future carrier.

MCTA first of all deserves
thumbs up for cheering the training needs of young scientist.
Secondly a special commendation
ribbon to Christine and team for tirelessly delivering as expected.
The training came or took place
at a time it was deeply needed and surely it will serve the purposed
special thanks to all the facilitators for one way or the other
strive to the training.
The accommodation chosen were
very conductive for a student to find life easy and really feel at
home. The services rendered were excellent.
The meals served were
satisfactory until I have chosen a choice from Ghanaian food called
“red red”. Thought the distant from the
capital to the training venue is far but the highway is very smooth
and easy to drive on. the benefit I have got from this cannot be
counted when I was coming for the training, is like a child in the
cradle but at the end of the training I am now a graduate. Am finally urging the sponsors
to please be organising a such training every three months.Gambia
