Trauma training in low income countries.

[Gustavo E. Flores]

Is there any link to this? I tried googling it but couldn't find any
references.

Thanks.

The International Comittee of the Red Cross also
offers the Emergency Room Trauma Course (ERTC) as a
cost effective alternative to ATLS in lower income
countries.

We have started here. I have been doing talks on
injury prevention 
(road
trauma)since January 2006 (New Year resolution,
nothing less !)and so 
far
have done free 1 hour multimedia presentations at
various offices,
get-togethers, school annual days, residents
association meetings etc.

My laptop sits out there in the middle of the crowded
OPD showing the 
same
presentation over and over  almost very day .(Luckily
so far no one has
tried to nick it !)As you are probably aware,India
tops the list at 
death
rates,not only because of increased accidents(too many
vehicles,pedestrians,lack of road rules etc) but also
because we dont 
have
ATLS type training or  prehospital care in over 95% of
places.I did the 
ATLS
while in the UK, but that was in 1998.

I am also part of the World Road Safety partnership, a
non-governmental
organisation which has just recently come into
being.The official
inauguration is on 24th of this month. Have a look at
www.worldroadsafety.org .

Hope things will be better.
