Applying the Surge Capacity Components for Capacity-Building Purposes in the Context of the EMT Initiative.

Int J Environ Res Public Health

December 2024

CRIMEDIM (Center for Research and Training in Disaster Medicine, Humanitarian Aid and Global Health), Università del Piemonte Orientale, 13100 Vercelli, Italy.

Background: On 16 January 2021 (EB148/18 Session), the World Health Organization (WHO) and Member States emphasized the importance of expanding the WHO Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) Initiative, investing in a global health workforce and multidisciplinary teams capable of being rapidly deployed, equipped, and fully trained to respond to all-hazard emergencies effectively. This resulted in the need to define a comprehensive framework. To achieve this, the EMT Initiative proposes the application of the four components of Surge Capacity, known as the 4"S" (Staff, Systems, Supplies, and Structure/Space), to build global capacities and capabilities, ensuring rapid mobilization and efficient coordination of national and international medical teams for readiness and response, complying with crisis standards of care defined in an ethical and evidence-based manner.
