The WHO Emergency Care System Framework captures essential emergency care functions at the scene of injury or illness, during transport, and through to emergency unit and early inpatient care. Counties may achieve each function in different ways, based on available resources.
A Public Emergency Care Centre is any public health facility (including mission hospitals and NGOs) that receives acutely ill and injured patients, is open and staffed 24 hours a day, and has a functioning operating theatre.
