* Training sessions in 2000 were held 2 times at Kisumu and Kakamega. 
Prepared by the investigation team 
 
After the closing of the training courses, KEMRI conducted a follow-up survey of the 
hospitals in order to monitor and analyse the problems of HEPCELL usage, and 
conduct an evaluation of the test system, advice and retraining of staff on-site, and data 
collection.    The provincial and district hospitals acquired the utilization techniques of 
HEPCELL II and the ability to conduct proper blood screening using HEPCELL II 
through the activities of the ICTPs.     
KEMRI also held a Third Country Training Programme (TCTP) for blood screening 
(hepatitis B and HIV/AIDS).    There were 62 participants from 17 countries trained in 
the blood screening courses (see Table 5.11).
