Integrated emergency, critical and operative care (ECO) is key to a comprehensive primary health care approach and essential to ensure the health needs of people are met across the life course without undue delay. The World Health Assembly (WHA) has stressed the importance of ECO in resolution 76.2 (2023) “Integrated ECO for universal health coverage and protection from health emergencies” and decision EB154(6) (2024) on development of a global strategy and action plan (GSAP) for integrated ECO, 2026–2035. WHO is conducting consultations to gather input on key actions to implement the ECO resolution and inform the GSAP. At this special event hosted by the World Federation of Intensive and Critical Care, WHO is inviting all participants to a large group discussion and real-time polling on possible ECO actions.
