The Addis Ababa toxicology curriculum project: educational needs assessment for the toxicology modules of an emergency medicine training program
Our findings indicate the need to focus on the most prevalent local toxicological presentations and practical management challenges in local contexts, including resource limitations and delayed presentations. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of public health initiatives such as regulation of the sale and promotion of safe handling of toxic substances to mitigate toxicological risks. These findings are likely relevant to other resource-constrained settings outside of Ethiopia.
