The Ugandan government has committed to adding over 1,000 new ambulances by 2026. To meet this expansion, Global Emergency Care (GEC) is working to train and deploy the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) workforce that will staff these vehicles and strengthen emergency care nationwide, GEC has since supported the first cohort of 57 students — drawn from leading health training institutions including the Lubaga Health Training Institute , Nsambya Training health Institute and Gulu school of health sciences with study scholarships for the 2025–2026 academic year. Our goal is to double this number in the following year, ensuring that more communities gain access to lifesaving pre-hospital care.
