The 25x25 Basic Emergency Care Save Lives Campaign is increasing access to WHO’s Basic Emergency Care (BEC) training to nurses and midwives in 25 countries by 2025, empowering healthcare providers with essential emergency skills especially in low- and middle-income countries where timely emergency care can significantly reduce preventable deaths and disabilities.
The webinar will delve into the contributions of key stakeholders, including regional and global emergency societies and WHO Collaborating Centres, and highlight their essential roles in advancing the BEC implementation including the 25x25 BEC.
Attendees will learn about the global network improving emergency care systems, focusing on how digital tools and simulations are integrated into training. This session will build connections within the emergency care community, encouraging ongoing collaboration to expand BEC training worldwide.
