title: Establishing Long-Term Nursing Informatics Capacity in Malawi, Africa.
abstract: The capacity of developing countries to implement nursing informatics education, research and practice is limited. Therefore, an international partnership was established to provide teaching and research opportunities in the field of eHealth for nursing faculty at Mzuzu University, Malawi. This resulted in staff development and capacity building with nursing faculty undertaking mHealth research and beginning doctoral studies as well as the creation of an online repository of educational resources to teach nursing informatics to undergraduate students. Collaborative international partnerships can assist in building nursing informatics capacity in low resource settings.
