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.
