CRITICAL CARE
WHO Integrated Emergency, Critical & Operative Care
Essential Resources for Emergency, Critical and Operative care (EREC) are foundational to ensuring timely, effective, and life-saving interventions for acutely ill and injured individuals. Every day, health workers around the world manage a wide spectrum of acutely ill and injured patients – from infections and injuries to heart attacks, strokes, and obstetric complications. EREC offers an open-access bundle of tools tailored for the delivery of Emergency, Critical and Operative (ECO) care across the continuum, from community and primary care settings to the hospital. EREC emphasizes integrated approaches to care packages, platforms and pathways and supports structured care delivery that significantly reduces morbidity and mortality. These tools are designed to enhance capacity and optimize existing resources, making quality ECO services accessible in clinics and at first level hospitals.
