Emergency Medical Services
A strong Emergency Medical Services department improves patient outcomes and reduces death. At Gulu Regional Referral Hospital we have a functional and responsive Emergency care system. With a key role in saving lives, we support the safe evacuation of patients with time-sensitive conditions from communities. We respond to emergencies at pre-hospital and hospital levels.
