Medical Support Solutions has successfully transitioned from ISO9001:2008 to the coveted ISO9001:2015 quality certification. Having held the 2008 certification since 2007, we felt the time was right to transition, also using the opportunity to test some of our systems, processes and policies. “We are very proud of this certification, which we feel once again demonstrates our commitment to quality, innovation and service delivery” said Pieter De Weerdt, Managing Director of Medical Support Solutions.

MSS is pleased to confirm our registration on the National Suppliers Database with the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU).

Any supplier wishing to provide services for the Oil and Gas industry within Uganda must be registered on the PAU Suppliers Database, so we are especially excited to be able to service the Oil and Gas Community in Uganda.

We also feel its an excellent opportunity to partner with Ugandan healthcare professionals to provide skills transfer, emergency medical training and mentorship.

International best practice emergency medical training does not exist in most of Africa, with the result that many national healthcare practitioners are not equipped to assess, diagnose and treat medical and trauma emergencies.

However, many of these personnel are willing and able to learn, increase their skills and contribute more to a remote site healthcare system and their communities.

MSS has developed programs aimed at identifying individuals who have the potential to be trained and up-skilled in western standard emergency care, leaving a lasting legacy and contributing to local healthcare.

Medical skills assessments and gap analysis

Medical Support Solutions will conduct a medical and emergency skills assessment of the Local healthcare practitioner. Knowledge, skills and capabilities are assessed according to medical best practice, international standards and objective assessment criteria.

Intermediate / Advanced Life Support training and skills transfer

Based on the medical skills assessment, Medical Support Solutions will advise to which level we are able to uplift the capabilities of local healthcare practitioners. They are provided with focused training, refreshing anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, progressing to diagnostics, patient assessment and treatment of medical and trauma emergencies.

Mentorship and experiential learning

MSS medical staff conducts experiential learning with national healthcare practitioners during daily routine medical services, enabling them to learn key assessment, diagnostic and treatment skills. MSS staff who have a teaching background are carefully selected to place on sites where we conduct these programs.
