🌍 EAMS Global Airway Webinar Series 2026

Webinar #3 - Africa

Low-Resource, High-Impact Airway Solutions
Evidence & Practice from Africa

Can we improve airway safety and outcomes when resources and devices are limited?

In this third session of the EAMS Global Airway Webinar Series 2026, we turn our focus to Africa and explore practical, high-impact approaches to airway management in low-resource settings.

When access to advanced airway equipment is limited, knowledge, adaptability and effective training become even more critical to delivering safe airway care.

This webinar brings together international experts to discuss:
▪ Current airway management realities across Africa
▪ High-impact airway strategies using minimal devices
▪ The role of simulation training in low-resource settings
▪ Live interactive Q&A
