Yes, diaspora health informatics professionals are warmly welcomed as mentors in the SSHIA programme. Diaspora mentors bring valuable international experience, exposure to advanced health information systems, and global professional networks that can greatly benefit mentees in South Sudan. All diaspora mentorship is conducted online, and SSHIA provides guidance on managing time zone differences and maintaining effective virtual mentorship relationships. To apply as a diaspora mentor, visit sshia.org and complete the mentor application form.
SSHIA has a dedicated Diaspora Mentorship Initiative that specifically recruits South Sudanese health informatics professionals working in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and other countries to mentor colleagues in South Sudan. Diaspora mentors receive a special recognition certificate and are featured in SSHIA communications as ambassadors for the profession.
