We are dedicated to providing accessible, hands-on medical education to practitioners, especially those working in resource-limited settings. By offering unique opportunities to expand clinical skills and knowledge, we empower these healthcare providers to deliver better care and promote health equity within their own communities.
Online Course
FICCS is proud to partner with Disque Foundation to offer online courses to medical practitioners across the globe.
BASIC FIRST AID COURSE
Our First Aid course equips you with practical skills to provide immediate care in a wide range of emergencies. You will learn how to treat wounds, manage burns, handle poisoning, control bleeding, and stabilize injuries until professional medical help arrives. This training builds confidence to respond quickly and effectively, ensuring you can offer the right assistance at critical moments and make a vital difference in someone’s outcome.
BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
Our Basic Life Support (BLS) course provides comprehensive training in essential lifesaving techniques. Participants will learn high‑quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, including proper hand placement, depth, and compression rate, as well as how to safely operate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) during cardiac emergencies. The course also covers how to recognize and respond to choking, coordinate as part of a resuscitation team, and take immediate action in life‑threatening situations. By the end of this program, you will be equipped with the skills and confidence needed to act quickly and effectively to save lives.
Community CPR Initiatives
Global FICCS’s extended CPR initiative in Nairobi and surrounding communities has established a network of local health advocates who are equipped with the knowledge and skills to train their fellow community members in CPR. We also teach CPR and basic health skills in local community centers (see Box Girls ) as well as in Masai communities, including Loita, Magadi, and Ngenche.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
This advanced course builds on basic life support skills and focuses on the management of adult patients with cardiac arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies. You will learn to recognize and manage respiratory and cardiac arrest, symptomatic bradycardia, tachycardia, acute coronary syndromes, and stroke. Training includes advanced airway management, interpretation and application of ECG rhythms, use of emergency medications, and effective team communication and leadership during resuscitation. By the end of this course, you will be prepared to apply advanced algorithms and coordinate care in high‑stress situations.
