The Evolution of Emergency Medical Teams: What the Future Holds - Flavio Salio (WADEM 2023)

Watch Flavio Salio from the WHO-EMT Initiative give his plenary presentation from WADEM 2023 at the Killarney Convention Centre. Presentation summary: Recent events have reminded us that disasters, conflicts, disease outbreaks, and other health emergencies pose a constant threat and can have devastating impacts on individuals and communities around the world. These events are expected to become increasingly frequent, severe, complex, and intertwined in the coming decades. EMTs are a vital part of the rapid response and surge capacities of health systems. Recent experiences have demonstrated the importance of shifting from reactive responses to a proactive approach, using advanced surge planning with an emphasis on “all-hazards” capacity with a national and regional focus. The EMT 2030 Strategy calls on countries and organizations to take this proactive approach and to build and strengthen their EMT and rapid response capacities by implementing four critical steps.
