EMERGENCY
NGOs
Emergency is a humanitarian NGO that provides emergency medical
treatment to civilian victims of war, especially in relation to
landmines. It was founded by war surgeon Gino Strada in 1994 in
Milan (Italy).
Gino Strada and the other founders of Emergency aimed to bring
free, high-quality medical and surgical assistance to war victims.
Over time, their humanitarian projects assumed a broader view,
including giving human rights to those who suffer the social
consequences from wars. Emergency promotes a culture of peace and
solidarity.
Emergency strives for neutrality in every war; its aim is to
guarantee the right of free medical assistance to the population
affected by a war.
How Emergency operates
Emergency begins operations in a specific region or country based on
two major factors: the real need of specialized medical assistance
from the local population, and the absence of similar humanitarian
projects in that given country. Once a project starts, specialized
international personnel construct and operate high-quality surgical
centers for war and landmines victims, as well as physical and social
rehabilitation centers, first aid posts, and health centers for basic
medical assistance. Emergency also deals with crippling and endemic
diseases like polio and malaria and provides basic health care, not
only for war-torn areas, but also for high poverty regions; it also
helps the set up of social development projects. Emergency strives
to foster cooperation with and provide professional training to the
local personnel, so that eventually the facilities run independently.
