Afghanistan

In 1999, in Anabah, a village in the Panjshir Valley, EMERGENCY transformed military barracks into a surgical centre for war victims.

In order to respond to the needs of the local people, the centre’s activities progressively expanded to include emergency surgery and trauma care. In 2003, paediatric and internal medicine units as well as a maternity ward were built next to the main centre.

The centre provides maternity and neonatal assistance to women and newborns in an area that has one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world. An itinerant prenatal health care programme was put in place for women in the most inaccessible villages.

In the Spring of 2001, EMERGENCY opened a second centre in Kabul that has become the trauma care centre of reference for the entire country. In 2003, a six-bed intensive care unit was created, and in 2005 a CAT Scan (CT) unit was installed.

In September 2004, EMERGENCY opened a third surgical centre in Lashkar-gah, the provincial capital of Helmand in the south of the country. The hospital is named after Tiziano Terzani, Italian journalist and humanitarian. It is the only medical facility offering free high quality health care assistance in an area devastated by war.

In the areas most mined or where there is no health care assistance available, EMERGENCY is present through a network of First Aid Posts (FAP) which are open 24/7 and are connected to the hospitals. Ambulance service is provided for the most urgent cases.Since 2001, EMERGENCY has also provided health care assistance to the inmates of the major prisons in the country.

The EMERGENCY Surgical Centre for War Victims was established in Battambang in 1998, to provide free high quality surgical assistance and rehabilitation to victims of war and landmines. The Centre also provides plastic and reconstructive surgery for patients affected by polio, congenital malformations and burns.In 2005, following a memorandum of understanding signed with the Ministry of Health of Cambodia, the EMERGENCY hospital began to admit all trauma patients and other life-threatening surgical emergencies. After the closure of the department of traumatology at the provincial hospital, the EMERGENCY Surgical and Trauma Centre has become the referral facility for the entire province.In 2006, a new physical rehabilitation department for hospitalized patients was opened.

The international staff is engaged in training programmes for local personnel by offering courses for physiotherapists, nurses, and specialised surgeons from the University of Phnom-Penh.

In order to cope with the high number of landmine victims among the refugees returning from Thailand, a field programme in the northern Samlot region was established in 1999. EMERGENCY set up four First Aid Posts (FAP) and a referral system to connect the remote and heavily mined Samlot district with the Surgical Centre in Battambang.A fifth FAP was opened in January 2000 in Tasanh, with a ward equipped for the treatment of malaria, which is endemic in this part of the country. Each FAP is open 24/7, and an ambulance provides transfer of urgent cases to the EMERGENCY hospital. In 2003, the management of four FAP was transferred to the local authorities; however, EMERGENCY continues to support all activities.EMERGENCY still directly manages the O’Ttiak FAP in Samlot province providing basic health care services.

EMERGENCY has been working in Iraq since March 1995, initially in the village of Choman on the Iraq/Iran border.

The Sulaimaniya and Erbil Surgical Centres opened in 1996 and 1998, respectively, offering free high-quality surgical assistance to victims of landmines and war. Both centres were later equipped with specialized units for burn and spinal injury patients.

As of 2005, EMERGENCY treated over 330,000 people at the Centres in Erbil and Sulaimaniya and the network of First Aid Posts (FAP).

In May 2005, after 9 years of training the national staff, the management of the Sulaimaniya and Erbil Surgical Centres and their network of FAP were transferred to the national health authorities. The Centres are now fully integrated into the national health care system, offering highly qualified assistance to all patients free of charge.

In 1998, EMERGENCY opened the Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration Centre in Sulaimaniya.This Centre provides lower and upper limb prosthetic services, physical rehabilitation and vocational training to the physically disabled, and assists them in starting professional cooperative workshops.

The Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration Centre is still managed by EMERGENCY.

Sierra LeoneIn late 2000, EMERGENCY initiated a Surgical Programme to assist war victims. An abandoned medical clinic in the district of Goderich, on the outskirts of Freetown, was transformed and expanded into a Surgical Centre, with the addition of new buildings. This is where EMERGENCY provides treatment to war trauma, and orthopaedic patients. The admission criteria have now been expanded to include all life-threatening surgical emergencies.

In spring 2002, a Paediatric Outpatient Department was opened in order to manage the growing number of paediatric patients.

In 2003, the government of Sierra Leone providedmore land where EMERGENCY built two new wards to expand its paediatric activities. Children admitted to the EMERGENCY Centre mainly suffer from severe malaria, acute anaemia and respiratory tract infections.

Since 2005, a programme was launched at the Paediatric Centre to counter malnutrition. The programme also provides hygiene and nutrition classes to mothers.

In 2006, EMERGENCY launched a new programme for esophageal endoscopic dilatation procedures to address accidental injuries related to ingestion of caustic lye, a chemical used in homemade soap production, a practice prevalent throughout Sierra Leone.

Currently, EMERGENCY’s surgical and paediatric centres in Sierra Leone are the only medical facilities offering free high standard health care services, and training of surgeons and anesthesiologists in a country still greatly suffering from the consequences of a long and harsh war.

Immediately following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, an assessment was conducted by EMERGENCY and a few days later, surgical instruments and medical consumables were supplied to the Kalutara General Hospital enabling it to resume activities.

Soon thereafter, EMERGENCY was inundated with donations from private individuals throughout Italy. As EMERGENCY began responding that disaster relief was not part of its mission, donors insisted that EMERGENCY reconsider. They were aware of EMERGENCY’s track record and trusted it to be the best organization to put their donations to good use. Assessments for where and how to best aid the numerous victims affected by this catastrophric natural disaster were then conducted.

In collaboration with a local organization, the Tamil Rehabilitaion Organisation, EMERGENCY established an integrated programme to assist the coastal village of Punochchimunai, a Muslim minority community, in the eastern district of Batticaloa.

The first phase of this programme, called Back to the Sea, was completed at the end of July 2005. EMERGENCY distributed motor boats, canoes, and fishing nets to the community’s fishermen so they could return to work. School kits were also supplied to the local school children.

A housing project was also approved and construction began on 91 brick homes for the homeless. Recurring riots and hostilities between the government and civilians caused significant delays, even halting construction work for several months. The housing project was finally completed in September 2008.

SudanFrom the spring of 2004 to the summer of 2005, EMERGENCY provided assistance to the Mellit and Al Fashir hospitals in North Darfur. EMERGENCY built a surgical ward at the Al Fashir Hospital which is comprised of two operating theaters, a sterilisation room and a 20-bed ward.Approximately two million refugees live in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps under miserable conditions on the outskirts of Khartoum with no access to basic medical services. EMERGENCY opened a paediatric centre in the Mayo IDP camp in 2005. It is the only facility providing free of charge basic health care to approximately 300,000 people. In addition to other clinical activities, the centre also serves as a day hospital with an outpatient ward and with an ambulance to transfer the more serious cases to the surrounding city hospitals.Community Health Promoters (CHP) carry out follow-up home visits as well as health and hygiene programmes. These services have been up and running since the spring of 2006. Local community members are selected and trained as CHP by EMERGENCY’s international staff. Maternity/pre-natal screenings are run at the centre, as well as immunisation programmes for children ages five and under.In 2007, EMERGENCY opened the Salam Cardiac Surgery Centre located in Soba, a village which runs along the Blue Nile, about 20 kilometers from Khartoum. The Salam Centre, meaning peace in Arabic, is the first free of charge cardiac surgery hospital of excellence on the African continent. It is a technologically advanced centre, built with innovative techniques, and is environmentally friendly. The Centre is clinically and administratively managed by EMERGENCY. It provides free, specialised cardiac treatment to Sudanese patients and to those coming from neighboring countries. Patients have come for treatment from Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. In 2008, patients from as far as northern Iraq, referred by their Ministry of Health, underwent surgery at the Centre.

Serious violations of human rights affect the daily lives of migrants coming to Italy. In April 2006, EMERGENCY opened a medical facility which offers social and health care services to any patient, regardless of immigration status, seeking treatment in the following departments: general medicine, paediatrics, dermatology, dentistry, ophthalmology and otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, psychiatry and psychology.

The volunteer medical staff at the clinic is comprised of 25 dentists, 4 optometrist, 12 internists, 1 otolaryngologist, 1 dermatologist, 2 paediatricians, 3 nurses, 4 gynecologists, 4 cardiologists, 1 psychiatrist and 1 psychologist.

The free of charge services are intended for immigrants, but are available to anyone in need. The health care treatment is made possible thanks to the collaboration of a volunteer corps of medical personnel committed to integrating national health care and to ensuring the right of free high standard health care to all.

As of December 31, 2008, 4,474 patients from 62 different countries have been registered for treatment at the clinic.
