Learning Objectives

A decade ago, the 60th World Health Assembly called upon member states to develop emergency care systems.  Since that time, many groups have heeded the call and sought to improve emergency care worldwide.  During this satellite session, we will bring together international leaders from academia, government, the non-governmental sector and public health development agencies to discuss advances in emergency care systems and outline a collaborative path forward to drive effective implementation strategies through research, education, and advocacy.

  1. Learn how to translate and implement policies and programs for your country’s integrated emergency care delivery system
  2. Define the principles, priorities, and next steps to implement and advance emergency care regionally, nationally, and locally
  3. Describe best practices that outline partnerships between Academic Medical Centers, Non-Governmental Agencies, Governments and large pubic health institutions (WHO, ICRC, etc)
  4. Contribute to the inaugural white paper about the conference’s reports and findings
