EMERGENCY's History

EMERGENCY was founded in Milan, Italy, in 1994, to provide relief and medical assistance to victims of war, landmines and poverty, and also to promote a culture of peace.

Since 1994 to the present day, EMERGENCY has worked in 14 countries, building 8 Hospitals, 4 Rehabilitation Centres, a Maternity Centre and 54 First Aid Posts and Primary Health Care Centres.


Following requests from local authorities and other organizations, EMERGENCY has also helped to renovate and equip pre-existing health facilities. Between 1994 and today EMERGENCY teams have provided assistance to over 3 million people.

In 2006 EMERGENCY became a partner of the United Nations Department of Public Information.

In order to support EMERGENCY’s goals on a larger scale, groups have been active in the USA since 2005.

EMERGENCY UK was formed in 2007 and obtained the status of Registered Charity in England and Wales on the 16th March 2009 (no.1128569).
