Climate Change, Health and Emergency Care in Africa

This is a 1-day, standardised, systems-focused online course delivered by AFEM’s Out of Hospital Emergency Care (OHEC) Committee. The objectives of this course are to educate and sensitise participants about various components of an out-of-hospital emergency care system in an African context. Participants will gain an understanding of key system components and principles of inter-relatedness, including, but not limited to:

(i) policy and governance,

(ii) quality assurance and improvement,

(iii) communications and dispatch,

(iv) providers scope, training and certifications, and

(v) oversight and medical direction.

The format will be interactive and will require participants to critically evaluate their OHEC system in a workshop format.
