Trauma in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a major reason for acute hospital admission. The Early Management of Severe Trauma Course (EMST) of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons was introduced to PNG in 1993 to help in trauma education.
Four EMST courses have been held in Port Moresby since 1993 with the support of the Department of Surgery of the University of PNG.
Sixty-two doctors have attended a course and three PNG doctors have been trained as course instructors. Trauma workshops were held in other provincial hospitals extending the course principles to nurses and health professionals in these areas.
The introduction of EMST to PNG has proven to be a worthwhile endeavour and the program is now firmly established in PNG.
在巴布亚新几内亚（PNG），创伤是急性住院的主要原因。1993年，澳大利亚皇家外科学院的严重创伤早期管理课程（EMST）被引入PNG，以协助创伤教育。
自1993年以来，在PNG大学外科系的支持下，在莫尔斯比港举办了四期EMST课程。
62名医生参加了课程，3名PNG医生接受培训成为课程教员。在其他省级医院举办了创伤研讨会，将课程原则推广到这些地区的护士和卫生专业人员。
事实证明，将EMST引入PNG是一项值得的努力，该项目目前在PNG已稳固确立。
