Essential Emergency and Critical Care: Science Diplomacy in Action

At its heart, Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) is about translating scientific knowledge into action that saves lives. It focuses on a set of simple, evidence-based clinical interventions (such as monitoring vital signs, providing oxygen therapy, administering intravenous fluids, and managing the airway) that can be delivered in any hospital in the world. These measures are low cost but life-saving, and form the foundation of care for critically ill patients.
