Global Emergency Care

Global Emergency Care (GEC), integrates emergency care with the field of global health incorporating clinical service provision, capacity building and health systems strengthening for time-sensitive healthcare. It includes development activities as well as aspects of disaster health, humanitarian assistance and surge response.

GEC is defined by ACEM as a commitment to improving the capacity of Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to deliver safe and effective emergency care. Our vision is to ensure emergency care is recognised as an essential part of universal health care and is available and accessible to all.
 
ACEM is proud to be a leader and collaborator in emergency care development in the Indo-Pacific and is excited by the growing number of GEC partners in Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and across the region.
