Emergency

We believe that right to treatment is a fundamental and inalienable right belonging to every member of the human family. Further, it calls for healthcare based on equity, quality and social responsibility.

More information

 

Emergency is an independent, neutral and non-political Italian organization. Emergency provides free, high quality medical and surgical treatment to the civilian victims of war, landmines and poverty. Emergency promotes a culture of solidarity, peace and respect for human rights. In today’s conflicts 90% of victims are civilians. Every year war destroys the lives of millions of people around the world. The work of Emergency around the world is possible thanks to the help of thousands of volunteers and supporters. Two basic factors are weighed before Emergency decides whether or not to undertake a project: the effective need for specialist medical or surgical services and the absence of similar humanitarian projects in the given country. Emergency builds and runs Hospitals specifically dedicated to war victims, surgical emergencies and specialist therapy in places where there are none. We build Physical and Social Rehabilitation Centres for the victims of anti-personnel mines and other war injuries and we offer first Aid Posts (FAPs) for emergency treatment,health centres for basic medical assistance, and paediatric centres. Emergency trains national staff to meet highly professional standards. We also offer humanitarian aid to prisoners in conflict zones and we set up development projects in the countries where it operates.
