Emergency Care Society of Uganda - ECSU

(english below)

Was lange währt...

Nach einer pandemiebedingten langen Pause unseres Engagements in Uganda konnten wir bei einem neuerlichen Trainingseinsatz nun endlich die – von den Spendengeldern unserer Schüler*innen und deren Eltern – finanzierten Notfalltaschen an die AAPU übergeben. Bereits im Sommer vor 2 Jahren – zu Hochzeiten der Pandemie und besonders auch in Uganda haben wir die Schüler*innen und deren Eltern bei der Zeugnisvergabe gebeten, eine Spende für unsere Freunde und Kollegen in Uganda zu tätigen. Ziel ist es, in ländlichen Gebieten die Erstversorgung von Patient*innen zu verbessern und die dort tätigen, meist freiwilligen Helfer*innen, die über AAPU organisiert sind, mit einem Erst-Diagnose-Set, bestehend aus einer Notfalltasche, Blutdruckmanschette, Stethoskop, Blutzuckermessgerät und Ohrthermometer auszurüsten. Bei der Beschaffung der Notfalltaschen war die Firma PAX äußerst zuvorkommend.

Auch wenn glücklicherweise der Höhepunkt der Pandemie auch in Uganda überwunden ist, so steckt die Notfallmedizinische Versorgung vor allem in den ländlichen Regionen immer noch in den Kinderschuhen. Durch die heute übergebene Spende wird ein kleiner Baustein in das Puzzle einer verbesserten Notfallversorgung in Uganda gesetzt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long break in our commitment in Uganda due to the pandemic situation, we were finally able to hand over the emergency bags – financed by donations from our students and their parents – to the AAPU during a renewed training assignment. Already in the summer 2 years ago - at the height of the pandemic and especially in Uganda, we asked the students and their parents to make a donation for our friends and colleagues in Uganda. The aim is to improve the initial care of patients in rural areas and to provide the mostly voluntary helpers who work there, who are organized via AAPU, with an initial diagnosis set consisting of an emergency bag, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope and blood glucose meter and equip ear thermometers. The company PAX was extremely accommodating in procuring the emergency bags.

Even though the peak of the pandemic has fortunately passed in Uganda, emergency medical care is still in its infancy, especially in rural areas. The donation handed over today is a small building block in the puzzle of improved emergency care in Uganda.
