The experience and challenges of serving at frontline, with current Covid-19 and Ebola crisis in Uganda, We allocated our ECP’s to work at National accident and Trauma Centre as one way GEC continues to support the Ministry of Health (MOH) of its vision of developing a national ambulance call and dispatch program, partnering on the training of pre-hospital Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). The ECPs have showcased their high-level skills and training, while being recognized by Ministry of Health-Uganda Department of EMS for excellence. They have since taken on extra responsibility in orienting and training the ambulance Emergency medical Technicians (EMTs) on the basic lifesaving emergency care skills and use of bedside scan on ambulance.
In his words (Deus an ECP) "although we are scared to die because our fellow front liners have succumbed to both Covid-19 and now Ebola, the beauty of our work and above all being an emergency practitioner well trained by GEC is the feeling you get when you save a life " and that is what keeps us strong and passionate about Emergency Care and working in low limited setting like Uganda.
