Emergency Medical Teams (EMT)

Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) are teams of health professionals (medical doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, paramedics, etc.) that provide direct clinical care to people affected by emergencies and disasters and support local health systems. EMT can be sent from both governmental (civil and military teams) and non-governmental organizations and their response can be national or international. The teams originally worked with trauma and surgical care, but the response to the Ebola outbreaks has demonstrated the value they can have in other contexts, such as epidemics and complex emergencies. The EMTs works under the overall guidance of the so called “Classification and Minimum Standards for Emergency Medical Teams in sudden-onset disasters”, developed under the coordination of the World Health Organization (WHO), who also are responsible for the EMT coordination worldwide. The various EMTs are classified according to what they can do.
