Accidents occur anywhere at anytime of the clock and does not choose the characteristic population it affects. It is a global disease that comes in different forms and its outcome often times is a high index (80%-90%) mortalities and morbidities. Having worked at the Emergency Department for a long a long period of time, I identified the glaring, critical, overwhelming and growing need for emergency medical services at the pre-hospital environment that ails our country and Africa at large. 

From the evidence based practices at the ER (Emergency Room), I am convinced that how trauma scenes are handled determines the outcomes of trauma patients. The immediate initiation of primary and secondary management necessary within the Golden Hour for acute management of acute life threatening conditions is paramount in improving the patient’s outcome.

I am extremely happy and proud to be part of the MMUST organ that took the step to initiate the paramedic program training that aims to equip graduates with knowledge and skills to prepare them respond quickly to emergency situations regarding medical issues, traumatic injuries and accident scenes outside the hospital. 

Our daily prayer as a paramedic department is to  is to Preserve life, to Promote Recovery and to Prevent complications and Disabilities at the pre-hospital environment.
