Biera is the 4th largest city in Mozambique with a population of over 500,000. One hospital provides healthcare for Beira and a surrounding catchment area of hundreds of kilometers. Dr. David Lewis, one of the ECCU founders, was involved with the Ipswich Beira Health Initiative which had helped to set up a new Medical School in Beira. Trauma and Emergency Care courses were established on a twice yearly basis from 2005.
The first full ECCU course was run in 2010
