GECS was founded in 2008 as an Irish voluntary, non-profit organisation with a core objective of providing emergency care training to doctors and nurses in countries with developing healthcare systems. GECS objective of reducing morbidity and mortality is undertaken through the provision of a skills based course in trauma care, resuscitation skills and major incident management every year in a different region.
