EMS and Disaster Medicine

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a crucial part of healthcare that provides immediate medical care to individuals experiencing emergencies, such as accidents or severe illnesses. It includes trained personnel, like paramedics and EMTs, who respond quickly to provide urgent treatment and transport patients to hospitals. Disaster medicine involves specialized care during major incidents like natural disasters or mass casualties, focusing on organizing resources, treating large numbers of patients, and addressing public health needs. Together, EMS and disaster medicine ensure timely and effective responses to medical crises, safeguarding public health and saving lives in critical situations.
