FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

OMAHA, NE – May 7, 2025 - Pipeline Worldwide, in collaboration with the UNMC Global Center for Health Security, invites the public to attend an exclusive preview of a groundbreaking global health initiative. The Omaha Simulation Container Lab Expo is a one-day event celebrating the transformation of a shipping container into a cutting-edge remote simulation training lab designed to revolutionize continuing medical education in Uganda.

WHEN: Thursday, May 22, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Tours conducted hourly)

This innovative facility will support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Uganda's Ministry of Health objectives. Following the expo, the simulation container will be equipped with donated medical equipment from Nebraska Medicine and shipped to Northern Uganda, where it will serve as a vital training resource for healthcare professionals at Pipeline Worldwide’s Lonyi Village Innovation Learning Center in Moyo, Uganda.
