A new milestone has been reached. The new IPLS centre at the Central Children’s Hospital in Baghdad has provided its first IPLS course! This is excellent news. Five Arab Board doctors and one university nurse were trained by the local faculty led by Dr. Rana Mohammed. The Arab Board Training Coordinator, Dr. Jafar al-Ghaban was present and was very impressed by the organisation of the course, the performance of the faculty the contents of the course itself. This means another IPLS centre is now properly up and running in Baghdad. Congratulations to Dr. Rana, her team and to all the candidates.
