Emergency Medicine is not just about first aid. It is a highly specialized field that deals with time-sensitive, complex, and often life-threatening conditions from road traffic accidents and cardiac arrests to strokes, poisoning, and natural disasters. Despite its importance, many hospitals in India still lack structured emergency departments or trained emergency physicians.
With rising trauma incidents, urban health challenges, and disasters, the need for robust Emergency Medicine systems has never been more urgent. EMPACT 2025 is directly addressing that critical gap.
