IFEM and WHO EMRO are joining forces to advance integrated emergency, critical and operative care across the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Clinicians across the Region are invited to help shape this important initiative.
-
A regional initiative to advance integrated emergency, critical and operative care will bring together expertise and perspectives from across the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
Access to timely, coordinated and effective emergency, critical and operative care is fundamental to stronger, more resilient health systems. To advance this goal, the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) is working with the World Health Organization Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (WHO EMRO) to develop a Regional Roadmap for Integrated Emergency, Critical and Operative Care (ECO), 2026–2035.
-
Building on the WHO Global Strategy for Integrated ECO (2026–2035), the roadmap will translate global priorities into practical, regionally relevant actions. It will identify existing gaps and opportunities, establish strategic priorities and outline context-specific approaches to strengthening integrated care across countries with diverse healthcare needs and capacities.
_
As part of this initiative, IFEM will engage with Ministries of Health, healthcare professionals and key stakeholders across the Eastern Mediterranean Region, drawing on regional expertise and frontline perspectives to help shape an evidence-informed roadmap.
