Emergency hospital, Battambang, Cambodia, Asia, landmine's effects
EMERGENCY offers free, high-quality medical and surgical treatment to the victims of war, landmines and poverty. EMERGENCY promotes a culture of peace, solidarity and respect for human rights. Milan, Italy, 1994: EMERGENCY, a humanitarian organisation founded to help civilian victims of war and poverty, was born. Since then Emergency worked in 18 countries, building hospitals, surgical centres, rehabilitation centres, paediatric centres, health centres, outpatient and mobile clinics, a maternity centre and a cardiac surgery centre. At the request of local authorities and other organisations, the humanitarian organization also contributed to the restructuring and strengthening of existing health facilities. Banning landmines One of the first things Emergency did was launch the campaign that resulted in Italy banning the production of anti-personnel mines. Our doctors, surgeons and nurses had seen – and continue to see – the horrors of war and its effects: that’s why we were compelled to advocate for peace, solidarity and respect for human rights. Healthcare is a human right.
