Building critical care/ICU capacity for resource-limited countries
Although building up critical care and intensive care unit (ICU) capacities has been one of the most urgently needed investments in recourse-limited countries, this has not received proper attention in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) due to protracted and complex conflicts causing fatigue among countries, governments and donors. We propose a long-term capacity building programme in critical care and ICU management in such countries (see table 1).
