Crash Course Immune System
What will I learn?
Tear down the mysteries behind your body's 'askari' (soldier) system with our Harambee: Understanding Your Body's Defence Force. This course is crafted for our Kenyan medical professionals who want to sharpen their skills. We'll delve into how the immune system works in our everyday lives, investigate how it responds to threats, and understand diseases like when the defence force is weak (immunodeficiencies) or attacks its own (autoimmune diseases). You'll learn about the different types of 'askaris' (white blood cells), how they recognize enemies (antigens), and the importance of 'chanjo' (vaccination). With easy-to-understand models and diagrams, this course will empower you to use your knowledge to protect people from sickness and take care of patients.
