The Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) Champions Workshop (11–13 March 2026) and EECC Course ToT (14th March 2026) in Dar es Salaam brought together clinicians, researchers, and health system leaders from across Africa and beyond, united by a shared mission: ensuring every critically ill patient receives essential, timely care regardless of setting.
During the 3 days champions workshop 26 participants from 12 countries met to discuss EECC concepts, advocacy and implementation. The new champions also made their action plans to push the EECC agenda in their countries and beyond.
In the EECC course ToT, learners through interactive sessions, simulation-based training, and action-oriented discussions, learned practical strategies on how to run the 3-day EECC clinical course.
The EECC clinical course is based on recognition of critical illness, delivering of low-cost high-impact interventions, and scale EECC within their health systems.
The workshop also highlighted global collaboration, with contributions from experts from Canada, Chile, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Mauritania, Namibia, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo strengthening a growing international network of EECC champions that work to advocate for delivery of low-cost high-impact interventions for critical Illness, and scale EECC within their health systems.
The momentum continues with champions now equipped to lead implementation, training, and advocacy efforts globally.
