EECC Global founder Dr Karima Khalid is the latest guest on The Lancet Regional Health – Africa podcast.
In the episode, Karima discusses Essential Emergency and Critical Care in Tanzania, from the African Critical Illness Outcomes Study (ACIOS), which identified major gaps in the care of critically ill hospital patients, to the implementation of EECC across 79 hospitals.
The programme was associated with a 31% reduction in inpatient mortality and won the inaugural Lancet–Elsevier Foundation Evidence to Impact Award in 2026.
