Somali Emergency and Critical Care Training Center
A national hub for training, research and capacity building in emergency preparedness, trauma care, disaster management and critical care.
Established as a collaborative national initiative led by Somali medical professionals and strategic partners, SECCTC responds to the country’s recurrent health emergencies — disease outbreaks, natural disasters and the impact of conflict — through four focus areas: emergency preparedness, health system resilience, research and innovation, and partnerships.
The Center bridges Somali medical professionals, academic institutions and international partners to deliver accredited training in emergency, trauma and critical care, integrates emergency and critical care into medical curricula, and supports rapid response teams.
