Health ERUs • Not a parallel health system. • Used to fill the gap in the national health system caused by the emergency. • Coordination and cooperation with local health authorities and lead health agency. • Can be integrated in existing health structures. • Provide basic clinical care AND community care and prevention.

  16. From local to global • IFRC works through our NS members who lead the response working with volunteers in their own country • RCRC Societies are auxiliary to their Govt but also independent • Work from local to global optimising resources at each level as the scale or complexity of the disaster requires • Engage with Movement partners – partner NSs including in emerging countries and ICRC, particularly in complex emergencies or crises • Coordinate with other actors at all levels • Disasters as a development opportunity
