Training: PTC, surgical skills, hand hygiene, analgesia
We have now trained close to 100 nurses and doctors in Primary Trauma Care. This is a two day practical course that teaches the principles of initial management of a trauma patient. Twelve Congolese PTC instructors are now able to deliver the course independently and a Congolese PTC Committee has been formed.

In April, we delivered a week long course for junior doctors on basic surgical skills including knot tying, asepsis and use of instruments.

In May, we ran workshops for nurses on hand hygiene and analgesia.
