Mongolian Nurses Inspire Collaboration

When Yae Yoshino, Lecturer at Kitasato University’s School of Nursing, visited Mongolia, she was struck by the textbooks that young nurses were using. They weren’t really “books” at all, but thin booklets translated from Russian, imported from the former Soviet Union. Not much was up to date – including nursing education. Inspired by the highly motivated nurses and midwives she met there, Yoshino contacted the TDLC to inquire about distance learning opportunities, and a partnership was born.
