OVERVIEW

FHI 360 in Vietnam with funding from The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Support to End Tuberculosis (TB) Project is seeking professional contractors registered to operate in Vietnam to provide the development of Viet Nam NLH-NTP E-Learning platform. This E-learning platform offers healthcare professionals a convenient and effective way to improve their knowledge and understanding of tuberculosis. Through interactive modules, expert-led video lectures, and real-world case studies, the platform provides a dynamic learning experience accessible anytime, anywhere. This empowers healthcare professionals to confidently diagnose, treat, and manage tuberculosis cases, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes and the global fight against this infectious disease.

I. Background

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, with an estimated 10 million new cases found in 2019 alone. Yet, as a disease, TB is both curable and preventable. Vietnam ranks 16th among 30 “high burden” countries - which account for 84% of all new TB cases worldwide.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Support to End Tuberculosis (TB) project’s overarching goal is to support the Government of Vietnam (GVN) to successfully detect, treat and prevent TB ?. The five-year project will support the GVN in the ambitious effort to end TB in Vietnam by 2035, defined as reducing the TB burden, reducing deaths due to TB, and eliminating patient catastrophic costs from this disease. USAID Support to End TB is implemented by FHI 360 in partnership with the National TB Program (NTP).

Besides, the training of basic and specialized knowledge on the detection, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis for medical staff is being regularly implemented by the National Lung Hospital - National Tuberculosis Program (NLH-NTP) through organizing direct and online training classes with lecturers of NLH-NTP. With this form, besides the advantages, there are also some limitations such as the number of organized classes as well as the number of participants being limited due to limited funding; students are required to stop their professional work to attend training... Therefore, there needs to be a more convenient form of training so as not to limit the number of students, not to limit time, not to affect professional work and medical staff can choose knowledge content suitable to their individual needs. Therefore, an online self-learning system (E-learning) with easy-to-access, simple, and available features is necessary and suitable for the needs. With this system, NTP can easily provide knowledge to staff at all levels within and outside the system, as well as quickly grasp the knowledge gaps of medical staff to focus on supplementing and improving when implementing direct training.

We are seeking a qualified vendor to (1) provide an e-learning platform (with 2 options: renting or purchasing) and (2) modify the platform in relation to the needs of NLH-NTP and project.
