The World Health Organization (WHO) presents its compliments to Member States and
Associate Members and has the honour to invite them to nominate representative(s) to participate
in the 6th WHO Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) Global Meeting, which will take place from
5 to 7 November 2024 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This Global Meeting will be an opportunity for Member States to interact and exchange
knowledge with the global EMT Network and other national EMTs or focal points from their
region and around the world, contributing to the building or strengthening of EMT surge
response capacities in the country.
This Global Meeting is hosted jointly by the WHO EMT Secretariat and the Abu Dhabi
Department of Health, with the support of the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Health and
Prevention.
The objectives of the Global Meeting are:
• to gather the global EMT Network, Member State representatives, organizations and
partners to take stock of recent health emergency responses and discuss learnings and
experiences;
• to provide a forum to exchange knowledge and best practices in establishing and
strengthening EMT surge response capacities, either in building own national EMT
capacities or in supporting others to build theirs;
• to help advance the science and operations of surge response capacities through
participant presentations of leading-edge research and evidence, and of new innovations
and technologies;
• to set and galvanize collective actions at global, regional and national levels towards
achieving the goal and objectives of the EMT 2030 Strategy, particularly in
strengthening national surge response capacities and systems for all countries.
Further information, including key events’ highlights and the provisional programme, can
be found on the Global Meeting website: https://www.emtglobalmeeting2024.com/.
