Emergency Health Response is an essential component of EMMS International’s work, ensuring that communities are not only supported in times of crisis but are also better prepared for future challenges. In the aftermath of disasters such as floods in Malawi or the earthquake in Nepal, EMMS has provided rapid healthcare support. These interventions save lives and stabilise communities during their most vulnerable moments. Without such timely action, outbreaks of disease, malnutrition, and long-term health consequences can escalate quickly.

However, true resilience goes beyond immediate relief. That’s why EMMS International also works to strengthen health systems, trains local health workers and strengthens infrastructure to withstand future shocks. For instance, in Malawi, EMMS-supported hospitals are integrating climate-smart solutions to cope with extreme weather patterns. This dual approach - responding quickly to crises while building long-term resilience - ensures that healthcare systems can continue serving people when they need it most.
