Programs: Malawi vital signs project $16,000:the objective of the project is to task-shift the triage component of emergency triage assessment and treatment (etat), a validated world health organization (who) resuscitation protocol, to volunteer nurse-assistants trained in etat methodology will increase the utilization of the full etat protocol by clinicians and nurses after hospital admission for urgently ill children.
