Establishing ERC Resuscitation Courses to improve Emergency Care Services in Uganda

Health Partnerships – GlobalAnaesthesia, Intensive care and emergency medicine
The partnership between the workgroup, Notfallmedizin Fürth e.V. and the Makerere Univeristy College of Health Sciences in Uganda is working towards the improvement of medical emergency systems in Uganda. Problem: Accidents and illnesses can be associated with acute life-threatening conditions and require immediate and targeted primary care. Ugandan patients often have limited access to these services. Thus, rates of morbidity and mortality remain high. Main Activities: In order to improve emergency care and reanimation outcomes, ERC accredited resuscitation courses are implemented. A network of Advanced Life Support (ALS) trainers is developed to implement the courses. Short-Term Effects: Through the implementation of ERC accredited resuscitation courses, health care personnel are independently educated. Long-Term Effects: Patients with acute life-threatening conditions receive secure primary care.
