The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF), in collaboration with Dr Shanthi Mendis, is pleased to announce the first Certificate peer learning programme for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
Read the full announcement: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-peer-learning-course-what-you-can-do-support-gcxwf/
The first primer course is for everyone who works for health and wants to better support living with NCDs during a humanitarian emergency.
In a crisis, most responders plan for trauma and infections.
NCDs are rarely part of that plan.
Yet 74% of all deaths worldwide come from noncommunicable diseases.
A person with Type 1 diabetes can die in days without insulin.
In 2024, conflicts doubled across 50 countries.
Nearly 300 million people needed humanitarian help.
When the pharmacy is destroyed, who helps the patient with asthma?
Most health workers have never been trained for that moment.
Dr. Shanthi Mendis changed that.
She led the development of WHO PEN and PEN-H over two decades.
Now, she has partnered with The Geneva Learning Foundation to design a free, open-access primer.
It covers eight critical NCD emergencies and a simple triage method.
It is text only, works on any device, and respects your bandwidth.
You do not need to be an NCD expert to save a life.
But you do need to know what to look for.
The primer also connects you with peers from around the world.
That network is what no guideline document can give you.

Animals are dying in a village.
Children are falling sick from the same contaminated water.
The veterinary worker documents one.
The nurse documents the other.
They have never met.
The connection is invisible to the system.
Both workers can see it.
75% of new infectious diseases in humans originate in animals.
Climate change is pushing disease vectors into regions that have never seen them.
But the systems built to respond still operate in separate silos.
We just launched a new primer: One Health: Connecting people, animals, and the environment.
It is free, text-based, and works on any phone.
You read short texts about why systems stay disconnected.
Then you examine your own setting and exchange with a peer in another country.
After completing our climate and health course, a health worker in Nepal wrote: "This transformed me from an implementer into a change agent."
Do not enroll alone.
Think of one colleague who faces similar challenges and invite them.
The course works best when you take it together.

Join The Geneva Learning Foundation for our Tenth Anniversary
Ten years ago, we asked a question most global health organizations avoid.
What happens when you trust frontline health workers to lead?
Not as recipients of training flown in from headquarters.
As authors of the solutions their communities need.
Today, 80,000 health and humanitarian workers from over 100 countries have answered that question.
They completed courses by midnight deadlines.
They supported peers they had never met in person.
They submitted action plans, revised them, and put them to work.
They did not wait for the next expert to arrive.
The Geneva Learning Foundation turns ten this year.
But this network was not built by a Swiss non-profit.
It was built by the health and humanitarian workers who chose to learn differently.
Every course, every peer exchange, every locally led action plan is evidence of one thing.
The people closest to the problem are the ones who solve it.
Our second decade starts now, with more courses, deeper pathways, and a commitment to go further.
Read the full story in our inaugural Scholar Newsletter.
