Global Emergency Care Skills

Global Emergency Care Skills (GECS) is an Irish voluntary, non-profit organisation with a core objective of providing emergency care training to doctors and nurses in countries with developing healthcare systems.

GECS courses are run free of any charge to all participants. The organisation is funded through voluntary contributions from instructors and from fundraising activities in Ireland throughout the year.

GECS has also acquired items of medical equipment for donation to developing countries. A large consignment of cardiac defibrillators will shortly be transported to hospitals in Kenya, Malawi and Zambia.
