April 30, 2024, marks an important moment for Clinical Emergency Care Training at HEAL Africa Hospital, Goma. The second cohort of this newly integrated program within the Training and Research Department of HEAL Africa (HATS – HEAL Africa Training Services) has completed its three-month intensive training in clinical emergency care.
This second cohort of the program included 4 doctors and 5 nurses, two of whom are women. After their intensive training period, these healthcare professionals are ready to improve emergency medical care in the most underserved regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo, from which they mainly originate. The graduates of the Clinical Emergency Care training are healthcare providers from remote regions facing challenges such as lack of equipment, severely deteriorated hospital and road infrastructures. Their common goal is to elevate the standard of emergency care in their respective communities to save more lives.
A doctor trained under this program emphasized the crucial importance of adequate training and sufficient, appropriate equipment to save lives in critical situations. HEAL Africa is committed to further training healthcare providers to meet the urgent needs of patients and save more lives. The next cohort of the Clinical Emergency Care training program will be launched in mid-May 2024, with the ongoing goal of improving emergency care in DRC.
