EspañolNew tool: WHO Academy COVID-19 learning app
WHO has recently launched a new learning app targeted specifically to health workers who need accurate, extensive, reliable, and timely information on COVID-19 to save lives and stay safe.
The app was created in direct response to an online survey of health works conducted by the WHO Academy in March and April 2020, to which they received over 20,000 responses.

- Case management
- Use of personal protective equipment

With content in 6 languages – Arabic Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish – the app is a convenient tool for accessing WHO’s rapidly expanding and evolving training materials and guidance, along with opportunities to participate in virtual skills workshops and other live training.
