GEC started new initiative which builds on previous work training emergency providers in Uganda. While GEC has been training hospital-based emergency providers for more than a decade, there remained a gap in pre-hospital care and barriers to patients reaching the hospital. This program seen GEC trained Emergency care Practitioners serve on the ambulance service in Kampala, at National Trauma centre Naguru providing full time coverage for the ambulances with a focus on responding to the most critical cases. Given ECP's extensive experience, they will give input into how the model functions to provide effective emergency care and allow the ECPs to gain pre-hospital experience to enable GEC to refine the ECP training curriculum for Uganda’s future EMTs.
“As an ECP, I love being on ambulance providing care to critically ill patients , it is both challenging and personally rewarding. You directly and quickly see the benefits and positive results of your diagnosis and treatment of patients with emergent conditions before reaching referral health facility. This aspect is what makes emergency medicine so interesting and stimulating.” As said by Deus ECP
