There are global disparities in the provision of maternal health care, with women from rural communities and underresourced countries expecting poorer access to healthcare services. This potentially compounds the existing higher burden of maternal and neonatal morbidity within these populations. In this setting, pointofcare ultrasound (PoCUS) has the potential to improve outcomes while mitigating challenges and barriers associated with the introduction of new medical technology.
Global Emergency Care (GEC) continues to carry out Capacity Building Trainings in Point of care-Ultrasound to boost the management of pregnant mothers in rural remote communities’ health facilities of Uganda.
As demonstrated by GEC Point of Care Ultrasound trainees Christine who wrote…
My name is Christine, “As a result of my Point of Care Ultrasound training with Global Emergency Care, my pregnant mothers are being managed better. If, for example, the baby is lying in a breech way, as a result of this training, l now know how to handle the mother better. I can now use the machine to check how the baby is lying as compared to before. Doing Bedside ultrasound myself surely improves and quickens the time my patient spends in the hospital, and we can work on her very fast, hence saving time”.
