SINGAPORE — The next time a major earthquake or cyclone hits the region, Singapore will be able to deploy a World Health Organisation (WHO)-certified emergency medical team (EMT) within 72 hours. To qualify as a WHO EMT, the team has to be fully self-sufficient during its deployment. This means that the EMT must generate its own electricity and clean water, manage all its medical and waste disposal, and arrange its own accommodation. «Self-sufficiency is important for EMT because you have a small life-saving window immediately after a disaster. The first hours and days are critical,» said Sean Casey, WHO's programme area manager for emergency operations and regional EMT focal point. «Being able to deploy quickly and to be self-sufficient if there are no local facilities operational, there are no hotels to stay in, there is no food in the market... and to provide high quality clinical care to the standards that any of us would accept for ourselves or for our families is one of the core principles of EMTs,» he added.
