Over the last ten years, around 700 natural and technological disasters have been reported each year, affecting at least 270 million people a year. Health is an essential part of the response needed to help survivors and save lives.
During such emergencies,the World Health Organisation leads and coordinates the health sector response, in its role as Global Health Cluster Lead Agency. The Organization’s primary objective in emergencies is always to prevent avoidable deaths, disease and disability, in coordination with national and international partners.
