Who We Are
We value equitable emergency care.
Everyone has a right to quality emergency care, even in under-resourced areas.
We are here to help.
We assist with emergency care capacity building in low and middle-income settings through knowledge sharing and technology capacity building. We work with our colleagues at their home institutions on self-identified areas that may require strengthening. We work within the local, regional and national health and education systems. This is done through a combination of in-person and virtual support activities. We mobilize local and international expertise as needed for the activity.
The goal is strong emergency care everywhere.
