ECCU – Mozambique Course – November 2013

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


ECCU – Mozambique Course – November 2012


ECCU – Mozambique Course – November 2011

Thanks to the generous support of GE Ultrasound, a team including ECCU faculty travelled to Beira, Mozambique and delivered an introductory course on focused emergency ultrasound. Diagnostic ultrasound is an extremely useful tool in Mozambique and may often be the only form of diagnostic imaging available.

All the equipment was supplied by GE Medical Systems Ltd
