A 5-day intensive programme building the practical skills every Emergency Room needs.
The World Health Organization estimates that 30% more people die from injuries than from Malaria, Tuberculosis, and HIV combined. Yet emergency rooms across our cities face a shortage of skilled personnel — a shortage worsened by the ongoing "brain drain" affecting the country's health workforce.
The result: inadequately trained personnel are often drafted to staff Emergency Rooms, without a full understanding of the method behind the apparent chaos of trauma care. MTEC exists to close that gap.
Half of all trauma deaths occur within minutes of the incident. Another 30% occur within hours. As much as 80% of preventable trauma deaths happen before a patient ever leaves the "golden hour" — leaving almost no margin for a poorly prepared team.
Delivered in partnership with the Cardinal Academy of Emergency Care, MTEC combines classroom teaching with hands-on practical sessions — distilling the critical, life-saving skills every Emergency Room team needs into a focused, practical curriculum.
Emergency Room personnel from both the public and private sector — anyone responsible for the critical first response to an injured patient.
MTEC is currently delivered in collaboration with the Cardinal Academy of Emergency Care, bringing structured, practical trauma education to Emergency Room teams across Lagos State and beyond.
