Currently we are facing a high number of armed conflicts all over the world. Especially Africa is battered by numerous of these conflicts, which hinder the continent on its way to peace, democracy and prosperity.
Mission environments are mostly different from the regular work environments people are accustomed to. Much as it is desirable to have peace around us, the environments within which we work is an enabler or a dream killer. Mission environments are typically not very conducive, talk about general living conditions, weather, food, language, epidemic, and medical situation on the ground.
The medical support is not only focused on one “provider” like Military Hospitals, a lot of different organisations are offering immediate medical support. All these actions and organisation have to be coordinated closely and they should have shared their experiences on the ground.
As military forces face increasingly complex scenarios requiring crises management on the sector of medical care that involves both civilian and military instruments, it is necessary to define their interaction at the civil-military interface by means of sound policy and doctrine. In addition to that, challenges also need to be addressed by appropriate education and training efforts.
The one-week Comprehensive Medical Support in Complex Emergencies Courseis designed by and conducted at the KAIPTC to expose participants to relevant and current skills, expertise and best practices in the domain of medical support and cooperation within the broader Africancontextin general and West Africa specifically.The course facilitation team will be composed of resource persons from Training Institutions in Africa and Universities from US and Europe, NGOs, Peacekeeping Practitioners, as well as academia among others.
