CALERO GARCIA, María José; CRUZ LENDINEZ, Alfonso  and  CAMPOS CALERO, Álvaro. The improvement of saharan population health through the educational innovation: a cascade training project. Index Enferm [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.3, pp.198-202. ISSN 1699-5988.

Education is a basic pillar in the Saharan population. However, the refugee population doesn't have an easy access to this education, especially to secondary, post-secondary or specialized in professionals competences. An important effort has been done by the Education Ministry in Saharan Refugee Camps, supported by several GO/NGO, to relieve this situation and to offer news opportunities. All the same, in medical professions is common to see that those professionals who have be informed in other countries don't return to their origin place. In light of that, the Health Ministry looks for new ways of professional training and motivation. The Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Jaén takes part in a cascade training method to incentivate the higher level professionals and, at the same time, to train health promoters.
