MERT (Medical Emergency Response Team)

A Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) is a specialized group of healthcare professionals trained to provide immediate medical care during emergencies, such as natural disasters or accidents. This team typically includes doctors, nurses, and paramedics who can assess situations quickly, administer first aid, and stabilize patients until they can be transported to a hospital. MERTs are crucial in high-pressure scenarios, ensuring that urgent medical needs are met promptly to save lives and improve outcomes for patients in crisis. Their effective coordination and expertise make them an essential component of emergency medical services.
