EMERGENCY ULTRASOUND UK - Mozambique Course
November 2011
Thanks to the generous support of GE Ultrasound, a team including EmergencyUltrasoundUK faculty travelled to Beira, Mozambique and delivered an introductory course on focused emergency ultrasound. Diagnostic ultrasound is an extremely useful tool in Mozambique and may often be the only form of diagnostic imaging available.

EmergencyUltrasoundUK would particularly like to Mr Lee Evans for VScan marketing manager EMEA.
