GEC continues to support Masaka Regional Referral hospital staffing at emergency department (A&E) with Emergency care professionals, they continue to initiate care for patients with urgent, higher acuity illness, traumas, and injuries to provide acute resuscitation and stabilization of patients with life threatening emergencies. To love this career, one must understand how to recognize and quickly manage complex patient needs. For the time our ECPs have practiced, they have mastered the skills of multi-tasking, prioritization, and working with a care team. " being an ECP is both challenging and personally rewarding. You directly and quickly see the benefits and positive results of your treatment of patients with emergent conditions. l always have that satisfaction of knowing that l have made a big positive difference in patients' life and wellbeing. This aspect is what makes emergency medicine so interesting and stimulating." As said by Elizabeth ECP

The experience and challenges of serving at frontline, with current Covid-19 and Ebola crisis in Uganda, We allocated our ECP’s to work at National accident and Trauma Centre as one way GEC continues to support the Ministry of Health (MOH) of its vision of developing a national ambulance call and dispatch program, partnering on the training of pre-hospital Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). The ECPs have showcased their high-level skills and training, while being recognized by Ministry of Health-Uganda Department of EMS for excellence. They have since taken on extra responsibility in orienting and training the ambulance Emergency medical Technicians (EMTs) on the basic lifesaving emergency care skills and use of bedside scan on ambulance.
In his words (Deus an ECP) "although we are scared to die because our fellow front liners have succumbed to both Covid-19 and now Ebola, the beauty of our work and above all being an emergency practitioner well trained by GEC is the feeling you get when you save a life " and that is what keeps us strong and passionate about Emergency Care and working in low limited setting like Uganda.

Sustaining lifesaving emergency care in the pandemic hinges on the health and mental wellbeing of frontline emergency care workers. Emergency medical staff face exhaustion, difficult triage decisions, separation from families, stigma, pain of losing patients and colleagues, in addition to their own risks of infection. With new Covid-19 Cases on the rise and the confirmed cases of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever at Masaka Regional referral Hospital, Emergency Care Practitioners have stepped up training for emergency department staff in personal protective practices, triage and patient ambulance referrals.
