Case description

Alba Critical Care Course Design is a Scottish Incorporated Charitable Organisation (Alba CCCD SCIO) SC043790. Members develop courses in surgical critical care and related topics, and help to teach and establish these in low income countries, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. We teach senior surgeons, surgical trainees, non-physician surgeons & anaesthetists and nurses to look after critically ill patients in a structured way, irrespective of their working environment. AlbaCCCD works to make the WHA resolution 68/31 (2015) a reality: “To include strengthening emergency and essential surgical care and anaesthesia as a component of universal health coverage”. We base our work on the philosophy that the physiological support of critically ill surgical patients makes a difference to patients’ lives and is an indispensable component of essential and emergency surgery in any environment.
