With the successful completion of our dress rehearsal, we have reached an important milestone for our classification as a WHO Emergency Medical Team. And we have also set our sights a little higher. <\/b><\/p>\n

What was once a simple meadow on the grounds of the Malzfabrik in Berlin Tempelhof is now a fully functional operations camp and medical treatment center 24 hours later. In line with the specifications for EMTs, the camp has everything needed for power generation, water treatment, cooking and sanitation in order to be self-sufficient in a crisis region for two weeks without outside support. None of the international aid teams should put an additional strain on the resources of the country requesting support. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The EMT structure was created by the WHO in order to be able to send and coordinate qualitative and effective aid on request in an emergency. To this end, organizations worldwide are checked against minimum standards, which differ in their requirements for medical and technical care depending on the type of EMT. These range from small, mobile emergency teams to fully-fledged field hospitals with X-ray and operating theaters. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
