Mission & Interests
Goals: EMERGENCY provides free, high-quality healthcare to victims of war, poverty and landmines, alongside building hospitals and training local medical staff. Founded in 1994, EMERGENCY has treated over 11 million people in 18 different countries and currently operates in Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Italy, Sierra Leone, Sudan and Uganda. EMERGENCY offers high-quality medical and surgical care; guarantees treatment to anyone in need of assistance, with no discrimination on the basis of political, ideological or religious beliefs; trains local staff thoroughly, with the intent of handing over all facilities to the local health authorities as soon as self-sustainability can be achieved. EMERGENCY also promotes a culture of peace, solidarity and respect for human rights. EMERGENCY's work around the world is made possible thanks to the help of thousands of volunteers and supporters.
