EMERGENCY is an independent and neutral international organisation founded in 1994 to provide free, high-quality medical and surgical care to victims of war, landmines and poverty. Our organization promotes a culture of peace, solidarity and respect for human rights.

Our work is made possible by the support of professionals who choose to stand with us against all adversities and difficulties that ensue in a country at war.
