EMERGENCY is an independent, neutral Italian association established in 1994 that provides free, quality care to victims of war and poverty by building and operating dedicated facilities and training local staff. It practices medicine based on human rights and calls for health care based on equity, quality and social responsibility.

Because being treated is everyone's right. Without discrimination.

Since its inception, EMERGENCY has treated more than 13 million people in 20 countries by building hospitals, surgical centers, rehabilitation centers, pediatric centers, first aid posts, health centers, clinics and outpatient clinics, mobile clinics, a maternity center and a cardiac center.

Today EMERGENCY is present in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Ukraine, Uganda, Eritrea and Italy.

EMERGENCY promotes a culture of peace, solidarity and respect for human rights through many cultural and outreach activities. It is involved in running meetings in schools, organizing exhibitions, conferences, and cultural events, producing documentaries and theatrical performances, and disseminating books and publications. It is active in national and international campaigns for the protection of health and rights.

Proceeds from the initiative will go to EMERGENCY to support its projects for victims of war and poverty.
