Training department.

First aid training in Uganda dates back to 1934, when Dr. John .P. Mitchell (the then medical superintendent of Mulago hospital) volunteered to train the pioneer group of three Africans at Mulago hospital. From that time, First aid has been continuously appreciated and now our trainers have so far trained over 20,000 people in a period of ten years (2001 – 2011).

All our trainers underwent a Trainer of trainers course in South Africa. Click here to view our courses
