Partner
Our local partner for the project is the Makerere University College of Health Sciences. As a professional medical training center with good relationships with various hospitals in and around Kampala, Makerere University is the perfect regional partner to build a comprehensive network.
Since 1989, the ERC has been standardizing and modernizing resuscitation guidelines and training in Europe and beyond. The transfer of the ERC guidelines and the establishment of an ERC course center in Uganda will ensure the quality of the resuscitation courses. Thanks to the ERC’s ongoing research in the field of resuscitation and resuscitation and the regular publication of new guidelines for the course centers, the local partners can always draw on the latest relevant research findings.
Our project was also supported by the medical device manufacturers AMBU and Bexamed, who both
donated training material.
Promotion
Our project is supported by the Initiative Klinikpartnerschaften – Partner stärken Gesundheit. The funding program was initiated in 2016 by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) together with the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation. It supports partnerships between health organizations in Germany and medical facilities in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of the initiative is to improve healthcare services in developing and emerging countries by creating a platform on which various organizations can work together in partnership and benefit from the mutual transfer of knowledge at a professional level.
