Emergency Usa - Participate

General

How is EMERGENCY USA different than other organizations?

EMERGENCY USA supports innovative humanitarian programs that demonstrate the capacity, skills and focus to provide high standard, specialized long-term care free of charge for patients in regions where medical care is out of reach due to the devastation of war and poverty. EMERGENCY USA supports initiatives with uncompromising quality of care, implemented with respect of the life and dignity of each patient, that convey the value of peace by saving lives. EMERGENCY USA supports advancement of permanent health-care capacity through education and training of local health-care personnel. The long-term goal is to build a sustainable system to be turned over to the local health authorities, guarantee that provision of healthcare without discrimination and free of charge continues.

What humanitarian programs are offered in the facilities EMERGENCY USA supports?

Surgical, medical, pediatric, maternity care, and physical rehabilitation are provided to patients. Public Health Clinics and First Aid Posts are connected to the major surgical centers and hospitals. Social reintegration programs for rehabilitated victims of land mines, and for war widows in Iraq and Afghanistan are also offered.

How are projects funded?

We strive to have approximately 90 percent of fund-raising based on the activity of volunteers and the contributions of individual private donors.

How are hospital and locations selected?

Humanitarian projects and programs are identified on the basis of most urgent needs of the populations in war-torn countries, and the interaction of such needs with available local resources, project feasibility and opportunities.

Do you remain involved with a hospital after it has been turned over to the local health authorities?

EMERGENCY USA supports programs that stay involved by providing supervision, further training and monitoring of compliance with agreed upon principles and protocols of care.

Are annual reports available?

Annual reports are published on the activities and programs that EMERGENCY USA supports overseas. This is a summary of the mission and expansion of the projects, complete with detailed information on each hospital and on the number of patients treated.
