Emergency Medicine Clinical Guidelines

Emergency medicine in Rwanda is underdeveloped. Limited training and infrastructure mean that the country has a high mortality rate from acute conditions such as trauma, malaria and obstetric complications. As Rwanda's disease burden shifts, there is a critical need for standardised emergency care. This Emergency Medicine Clinical Guideline (EMCG) provides essential protocols and principles that are tailored to the Rwandan context. The aim is to improve the delivery of emergency care at district and referral hospitals. It is intended as a practical resource for all healthcare providers involved in the management of undifferentiated emergencies.
