This is what we are working towards
Vision
A world where nobody dies of a condition that Essential Emergency and Critical Care could prevent.
Mission
To avert the deaths of 1 million critically ill patients per year by ensuring the provision of Essential Emergency and Critical Care throughout the world.
Strategy
To change the way that critical illness is understood and critical care is delivered by promoting and implementing Essential Emergency and Critical Care through a systems approach including advocacy, technical assistance, training & research.
Values
Equitable
EECC prioritises the provision of quality essential care to all
Systemic
EECC should be part of the overall system for care provision, rather than individual treatments or interventions
Pragmatic
EECC bridges the quality gap between the current practice of care for critical illness and best-practice guidelines
Task Sharing
EECC tasks should be shared between doctors, nurses and other health workers
Universal
EECC is for all critically ill patients, irrespective of age, sex, location, condition, medical specialty or social status
Efficient
EECC maximises the impact of resources through the provision of the most effective care at lowest cost.
Feasible
EECC includes interventions that are feasible for all hospitals in the world
Complementary
EECC does not aim to be comprehensive, patients also need definitive and symptomatic care of their condition
Global
EECC is relevant everywhere in the world.
