Building EKG Capacity for Emergent Conditions in Rural Uganda

This is an ongoing grant-funded project in partnership with OneWorld Health Uganda at Masinid Kitara Hospital.  As of 2023, we have hired a full-time Uganda project / research assistant in Masindi, instituted a Kardia 6L EKG in hospital triage, a 12-lead EKG on wards and in outpatient department, have trained all staff to be able to capture a 12-lead on a patient, developed a database for remote quality assurance, and are in the process of developing a 12-lead interpretation curriculum for clinical officers and physicians.
