Health Emergency
A health emergency refers to a situation that poses an immediate risk to health, requiring urgent intervention. This can include outbreaks of infectious diseases, natural disasters, or accidents that lead to mass casualties. Health emergencies often strain healthcare systems and require coordinated responses from local, national, and international organizations.
During a health emergency, resources such as medical supplies, personnel, and facilities are mobilized to address the crisis. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) play a crucial role in providing guidance and support. Effective communication and public awareness are essential to manage the situation and protect community health.
