27 May is The offical day of Emergency Medicine
27 May 1994 was the birth of Emergency Medicine in Europe. A group of visionary people signed the founding act of the European Society for Emergency Medicine, in London. The aim was to build a system model to grant every European citizen a professional, competent and, above all, able to provide a timely response to emergency care.
The day of Emergency Medicine is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of timely and professional responses to life-threatening conditions. By uniting everyone involved in this field through a collective campaign, we aim to highlight the critical role of emergency medicine in saving lives and preserving health. This is how the idea of celebrating the day of Emergency Medicine was born.
THE EM-DAY CAMPAIGN'S AIMS
The Emergency Medicine Day campaign aims to bring together the world population and decision-makers and raise awareness about emergency medicine and medical care.
We believe it is important to raise awareness about the need for well-developed, prepared, and organised emergency medical systems worldwide to increase survival and reduce disability after any urgent or emergent medical situation.
