Figure 2
A graphical illustration of the “plug and play” concept. The coloured rectangles to the left, linked with thin blue arrows, describe the development and characterization of fully complementary soft- and hard-ware for SSNBC, the curriculums for the whole team and the first training hub with staff. The bold blue solid arrows show the flow of team training, first through the SSNBC model ward at the hub, and next, at the first SSNBC national ward in country A, where all clinical and teaching activities further will be replicated to district-level teams. Blue dashed arrows show mentoring activities and green dashed arrows show how the national SSNBC wards are equipped and organized similar to the model ward with resources from the Hub. Country B, C and D are next in line to initiate their SSNBC national programs.
