The Urgent Need for Postgraduate Medical Training in Emergency Medicine in Nigeria
Description
Emergency medicine is a standalone field of medicine which has
developed over decades to become the bedrock of emergency care in
developed countries. It is a fairly new specialty, which started to receive
recognition in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s as a distinct specialty, out of
the need to care for a growing population of unscheduled and undifferentiated
patients who needed immediate medical care [1].
The emergency medicine training framework is in different stages of
development in Africa. It is highly developed in some parts of the
continent, yet remains rudimentary and virtually non-existent in other
parts. The flagship emergency medicine residency training program in
Africa began in the University of Cape Town in 2004 [2], after which
several programs in other African countries such as Botswana, Egypt,
Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan
and Tanzania sprang up. As of 2017, there were 15 emergency medicine
residency training programs across 12 countries in Africa
