On May 27, we celebrate the World Day of Emergency Medical Assistance, dariknews.bg reported.

It was first announced in 2018 by the European Association of Emergency Medicine EUSEM.

The purpose of this day is to unite the people and rulers of the world to talk about emergency medicine and emergency medical care, as well as the importance of the work of people working in this field of medicine.

It is important to recognize the need for well-designed, prepared and organized emergency medical systems everywhere in the world so that more people survive and reduce the disabilities that emergency situations lead to.

On May 27, 1994, the "Club Leuven" was established in the city of Leuven, Belgium. - a group of intensive care physicians who introduce the specialty "Emergency Medicine" in Europe. Bulgaria is one of the first five countries in Europe to introduce the specialization in emergency medicine as the main specialty for doctors in the same year.

Since 2015, a specialization for medical specialists "Emergency Medical Assistance" has been introduced. and there are now dozens of emergency medicine specialists among them as well. On this day, the European Association of Emergency Medicine appeals to make May 27 a day of reflection and action towards emergency care and its importance for the system.
