A team of staff and students from UL Hospitals Group and the University of Limerick has flown out to Ghana for the final phase of a joint effort to establish a pre-hospital emergency care training programme in the remote Upper West region of the African nation.
Now in its third year, ‘Learning for Lives – Ghana’, a collaborative programme run by UL Hospitals and UL in partnership with the national health service of Ghana, has provided primary healthcare staff in the Upper West and its capital Wa with crucial life-saving skills that will benefit the almost one-million strong population of the region. Frank Keane who is a Senior Fellow Paramedic Studies at the University of Limerick joined Pat Flynn to explain a how the ULHG have helped to establish a pre-hospital emergency care training programme in Wa.
