Emergencies occur everywhere, and each day they consume resources regardless of whether there are systems capable of achieving good outcomes (Olive C. Kobusingye et al)

These emergencies affect adults  and the young;  occur anywhere ( in the home, community, road and the work place) ; and result in high mortality and morbidity; with impact on the individual, family , community and country.

Emergency care is a spectrum of services that ensures that  a person having an emergency ( sudden illness or injury  with threat to life or limb) gets care from the scene of the emergency , through transportation and eventually definitive care at a health facility.

Equipping health workers with essential emergency care skills is critical in ensuring they are able to recognize and adequately provide emergency care.

This  online programme aims to equip health workers with the basics on how to  that handle emergencies in health facilities in Uganda.
