In response to the increasing need for emergency medical and surgical care immediately after major global disasters, Samaritans Purse has developed an Emergency Field Hospital with the ability to deploy rapidly worldwide. The field hospital is both modular, and utilizes a single solution that, despite the type of disaster, will be logistically deployed rapidly to meet the immediate and unique medical needs of the disaster victims. This breakout session will describe the emergency medical response system that Samaritans Purse has developed to deploy this new field hospital in austere situations globally, with particular focus on levels of response, medical staff deployed, tent structures, equipment and supplies. Attendees will also be invited to join with us as part of the medical staff on future disaster deployments.
