Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare: Standards for Health Infrastructure:
Nous Engineering was the structural consultant on a team of architects and engineers hired by the Liberia Ministry of Health, in collaboration with Rebuilding Basic Health Services (RBHS), an initiative of the John Snow Institute, funded by the US Agency for International Development, to develop architectural and engineering standards and guidelines for all scales of facilities, including clinics, health centers, and hospitals throughout Liberia. The Standards will build the capacity, expertise, and effective policy that will tie better built infrastructure to health outcome objectives.

Technical Training for Infrastructure Unit, Ministry of Health, Liberia:
At the time of the in-country visit as part of research conducted for the Standards for Health Infrastructure, Nous provided assistance to engineers in the infrastructure unit with troubleshooting a structural analysis software program. Due to budget and remote location, the team was having difficulties securing software training. Nous Engineering was selected by Rebuilding Basic Health Services in Liberia (RBHS) through USAID to conduct training for eight engineers from the Infrastructure Unit of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in the use of analysis software programs.
