Lessons Learnt
It is an effective approach to increase the knowledge and skills of the medical officers
It is interactive
Easy to reach the whole country through involvement of national programme managers
Limitations
Difficult to evaluate outcomes over distance
Challenges with Internet Connection and Technical Difficulties
Difficult to coordinate times that work across multiple time zones
Strong Central and Local Coordination is necessary
