Emergency Care

An Emergency Department (ED), also known as Accident & Emergency (A&E) or as Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU) is a medical treatment facility specializing in acute care of patients who present without prior appointment, either by their own means or by an ambulance.

Due to the unplanned nature of patient attendance, the department must provide initial treatment for a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries, some of which may be life-threatening and require immediate attention. In some countries, emergency departments have become important entry points for those without other means of access to medical care.
