Skills Development

Our Advanced Emergency Care Training program equips healthcare workers—including physicians, nurses, and clinical officers—with the skills to manage life-threatening emergencies in low-resource settings. Through hands-on simulations and evidence-based protocols, trainees learn to stabilize critical conditions like trauma, sepsis, and obstetric emergencies. Graduates of our program have reduced mortality rates by up to 50% in partner hospitals, proving that effective training saves lives even where resources are scarce. By focusing on sustainable, local capacity-building, we ensure communities have lasting access to emergency care.

Since 2009, Global Emergency Care has been equipping Emergency Care Providers (ECPs) in Uganda with the life-saving skill of point-of-care ultrasound. In low-resource emergency departments, where advanced imaging is often unavailable, bedside ultrasound stands as the single most powerful diagnostic tool—enabling providers to make rapid, accurate decisions that directly save lives.
GEC’s flagship program is its two year train-the-trainer Emergency Care Practitioner (ECP) program. Over the past ten years, GEC has developed this innovative training program in emergency care at Nyakibale Hospital in rural, southwestern Uganda.
