MEDICAL CAPACITY BUILDING

Mercy Ships South Africa, in partnership with SASA (South African Society of Anesthesiologists) are running SAFE (Safer Anesthesia from Education) Obstetric Anesthesia and Pediatrics Courses in South Africa. These are three-day courses that focus on the delivery of obstetric and pediatric anesthesia as well as managing critical complications arising in obstetric and pediatric surgery and birth. The courses use proven methods and lessons adopted from SAFE courses developed by the Association of Anesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGB). The SAFE approach combines Mercy Ships and SASA Anesthetists/facilitators with local instructors, who are provided with a train the trainers course to become in-country faculty of the future. Donating towards these Courses will allow us to provide donors with a Section 18A certificate. For more information, please feel free to contact us!
