Through IEMH Leadership Forums held worldwide, we are creating strong collaborations between emergency medical personnel and regional stakeholders civil authorities and leaders in medicine and government. These highly interactive forums are designed to:
- Promote collegial relationships, understanding and peace
- Exchange ideas to prepare for individual responses or large-scale disasters
- Sort through regional political, social and economic realities
- Make rapid improvements to local response systems that can be sustained without long-term need for support
- Identify low-cost technologies that can be easily learned and maintained
- Make the best of resources at hand
- Build community confidence and hope
