@W_E_S_0000@Genesismwanzo1@coc_ke I As a medic with ties in Emer sector in Kenya
EMTs in our country are better trained at handling Trauma than our Acc and Emer staff
You should see how the handle their ABC Ds and pt mobilization with expertise
The only downside is the poor structures we have from gov
@W_E_S_0000@Genesismwanzo1@coc_ke I have interacted with EMTs and trained them as well
Dont confuse EMTs to Paramedics
They are well trained at AMREF,Red cross and ST John Ambulance within their scope
Only Amref trains Paramedics
The only issue with the sector is its not regulated by an Act of parliament
The South African national anthem is exactly the same as the Tanzanian national anthem but SA chose to whip their TZ brothers in public like wild animals 💔💔💔💔

BUNCH OF SAVAGES
Last weekend, many doctors travelled to Bondo to stand with a colleague and friend as he laid his father to rest. It was meant to be a day of mourning, remembrance, and community.
Then, right outside Yieke Primary School where the send-off ceremony was taking place, tragedy struck.
We heard a scream. Then a crash followed by silence.
People rushed towards the scene to find a child lying unconscious, one man bleeding profusely, and another injured and struggling to walk. In moments like these, instinct takes over. Doctors are trained to save lives, and several immediately stepped forward to help.
The unconscious child was rushed to hospital on a motorbike. Not because it was the safest way to transport a trauma patient, but because it was the only option available in that moment. Another doctor offered his personal vehicle to transport the severely injured man to this same Bondo Sub-County Hospital. Several other doctors followed behind, hoping that once the patients arrived, they would receive the emergency care they desperately needed.
That is when the nightmare began. The doctors arrived at the hospital only to discover that there were no gloves. No basic emergency supplies. No essential medications needed to stabilize critically injured patients. Doctors who had travelled hundreds of kilometres from Nairobi for a funeral suddenly found themselves pooling their own money to purchase the most basic necessities required to save lives. Just imagine that.
Critically injured patients and healthcare workers willing and ready to help. Yet the system had failed at the most fundamental level.
That is why it is difficult not to feel a deep sense of fury when we see state-of-the-art funeral parlor being commissioned in facilities that cannot guarantee gloves, emergency drugs, or basic trauma supplies.
The purpose of a health system is first and foremost to preserve life. Dignified care in death matters, but it should never come before the essentials needed to save the living.
As a country, we should be deeply troubled by this because too often we lack the basics that make the difference between life and death.
