hunting, left leg amputated; Karim Wahid,
32, collecting metal, right leg amputated;
Saeed Majeed, 43, collecting metal,
multiple wounds ...: an extract from the
admission book of EMERGENCYs hospital
in Sulaimaniya became a postcard to be
sent to the Italian President Oscar Luigi
Scalfaro to ask for the prompt
discussion and approval of a bill
prohibiting Italy from producing, trading
and using landmines, as well as a
commitment in the international arena
for their total ban and the launch of
humanitarian initiatives of mine clearing
and aid to victims.More than a million postcards were
sent to the Quirinal Palace, the official
residence of the President of the Italian
Republic, in the summer of 1996.
In December of the same year the
international call for the ban on
landmines was also signed by ten
Nobel laureates: Rita Levi Montalcini,
Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Joseph Rotblat,
Elie Wiesel, Jean Dausset, Christian de
Duve, Frank Sherwood Rowlands, Steven
Weinberg, Kenneth J. Arrow, James M.
Buchanan. Finally, under the pressure
of an increasingly public awarness, the
Italian Parliament approved the Law n.
374 on October 29, 1997. This law forbids
- in Italy - the manufacture, storage,
sale, export and possession of mines,components, technologies and patents.
Moreover, the law forbids the economic
participation in foreign companies
dealing with mine production and trade.
On December 3, 1997 in Ottawa, Italy
signed the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban
Convention, which prohibits the use
of these weapons, mandates the
dismantlement of arsenals and makes
provisions for de-mining and victim
assistance an innovation in the
Italian regulations.
The Ottawa treaty came into force on
March 1, 1999, but many countries have
not yet signed it.
Among them there are China, Russia
and the United States of America.

AFGHANISTAN
In over 40 years, war in Afghanistan has led to one
and a half million deaths, hundreds of thousands of
people wounded and mutilated, more than four million
refugees. The most recent war, begun in October 2001,
continues to wound, kill and destroy. And the groundstill contains the legacy of the previous wars: landmines
and unexploded devices continue to maim children and
adults, primarily civilians.
Since 1999, EMERGENCY has built and managed a
Surgical and Medical Centre and a Maternity Centre
in the Panjshir Valley, a Surgical Centre in Kabul, and
another one in Lashkar-gah (in Helmand province).
EMERGENCY also runs a medical assistance programme
for the inmates of the countrys largest prisons, and
has set up a network of 28 First Aid Posts and HealthCentres.
Afghanistan is part of EMERGENCYs Paediatrics and
Cardiac Surgery Programme. At EMERGENCY hospitals,
international cardiologists select the heart patients to
be operated at the Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery in
Khartoum.
During 2012, the Afghan Ministry of Public Health
has funded about 20% of the total expenditure of the
programme.
Since 1999, EMERGENCY has treated 3,572,664
people in Afghanistan.

Battambang
CAMBODIA
In 1998 EMERGENCY built a Surgical Centre
addressing the victims of war and landmines in
Battambang, one of the most heavily mined areas
of the country. Through the years, the hospital was
turned into a Surgical and Trauma Centre.
In the Samlot district, EMERGENCY opened five First
Aid Posts in order to provide emergency treatment
and basic healthcare in a heavily mined area with no
other healthcare facilities. Management of the FAPs
was definitively handed over to the local government
in 2009.
After 14 years, in February 2012, EMERGENCY decided
to handover the hospital to the Cambodian Ministry
of Health in consideration of the changed needs of the
population and the good level of autonomy acquired bythe local staff.
Since 1998, EMERGENCY has treated
392,060 people in Cambodia.

The Iraqi Kurdistan is infested with millions of
landmines, many of which were manufactured
in Italy.
In order to bring assistance to landmine victims,in 1995 EMERGENCY restored and reactivated the
hospital of Choman, a village in Iraqi Kurdistan on the
Iranian border. In 1996 and 1998 EMERGENCY opened
two Surgical Centres for war victims in Sulaimaniya
and Erbil, two cities which were under the control
of opposing factions at the time. Both Centres were
expanded later on, to include specialized units for the
treatment of burn and spinal injuries.
EMERGENCY also opened 22 First Aid Posts to
guarantee prompt assistance to the injured and to
refer them to the hospitals when indicated.In 2005, EMERGENCY entrusted the local authorities
with the management and running of the two
Surgical Centres and of the network of First Aid Posts,
now integrated into the national health system.
In 1998, EMERGENCY opened a Rehabilitation and
Social Reintegration Centre in Sulaimaniya.
Since 1995, EMERGENCY has treated 390,735

EMERGENCY - Activity Report 2012
ItalyThe right to medical care is recognized by law in
Italy, and it is actually often denied to immigrants,
foreigners, poor people who do not have access to
treatment because of their scarce knowledge of
their rights, as well as the linguistic barriers and thedifficulty in finding their way within a complex health
system.
In a climate of widespread fear and growing racism,
migrants often do not turn to public facilities as they are
afraid of being reported to the police or the authorities.
For these reasons EMERGENCY began to work in
Italy, operating within prisons (2005-2007), treating
immigrants and situations of social distress.
In 2006 EMERGENCY opened an Outpatient Clinic
in Palermo, Sicily, to guarantee free healthcare tomigrants with or without residence permits and
to any person in need.
In December 2010 EMERGENCY opened a second
Outpatient Clinic in Marghera, near Venice.
Since 2011, two buses turned into mobile clinics have
brought assistance directly where it is needed.
In December 2012, EMERGENCY opened an information
point in Sassari, to help migrants and whoever in need
have access to medical care. Also because of the critical
economic situation, the number of people referring to
EMERGENCYs facilities has been constantly increasing
during 2012. For this reason, the Programme is going
to be expanded in 2013: EMERGENCY has started the
renovation works of two outpatient clinics in Naples
and in Polistena (province of Reggio Calabria). The new
facilities will be operational by spring 2013.

SIERRA LEONE
Gulf of Guinea
Sierra LeoneIn 2001, EMERGENCY opened a Surgical Centre in
Goderich, on the outskirts of Freetown, the countrys
capital. The Centre provides free high quality treatment
in orthopaedics, trauma and emergency surgery.
In 2002, EMERGENCY opened a Paediatric Centre next
to the Surgical Centre in order to guarantee treatment to
children under 14.
The child mortality rate in Sierra Leone is one of the
highest in the world: malaria, malnutrition, respiratory
and gastrointestinal infections are the main causes of
death among children up to 5 years of age.
The international staff is also committed to training
local personnel: EMERGENCYs Surgical Centre has been
recognized as a training institution for anaesthetist
nurses by the Ministry of Health of Sierra Leone.In order to expand the Surgical Centre in Goderich
EMERGENCY has built a new surgical block, inaugurated
in 2012.
Last year the Ministry of Health and Sanitation has
financed the hospital with a contribution in the amount
of 15 % of the hospitals budget.
This hospital is also part of the Regional Programme
for Paediatrics and Cardiac Surgery: EMERGENCY
cardiologists regularly carry out screening sessions to
identify patients in need to be operated at the SalamCentre for Cardiac Surgery in Khartoum, Sudan, and
subsequently perform all the necessary post-op checks.
Since 2001, EMERGENCY has treated 415,210
people in Sierra Leone.

EMERGENCY - Activity Report 2012
SudanIn 2004 EMERGENCY intervened in Sudan to support
the hospitals in Mellit and Al Fashir, in Northern
Darfur, by renovating and equipping the emergency
surgical block and ward.
In 2005 EMERGENCY opened a Paediatric Centre inMayo Internally Displaced People (IDP) camp, a few
kilometres from the capital Khartoum. The Centre
provides free of charge primary healthcare to children
up to 14 years of age.
In the same year, again nearby the capital,
EMERGENCY started to build a Centre for Cardiac
Surgery in order to provide highly specialized free
medical and surgical assistance to patients from
Sudan and its neighbouring countries.
The Salam Centre for cardiac surgery startedits activities in 2007. It is linked to a network of
Paediatric Centres where EMERGENCYs international
cardiologists carry out the screening and follow-up of
children and adult heart patients that are transferred
to Khartoum for surgery.
The staff of the Centre has operated patients from
25 countries.
In July 2010 EMERGENCY opened in Nyala, Darfur, its
second Paediatric Centre in the country. The activities
of the Centre have been suspended after the
kidnapping of a logistician of EMERGENCY, because ofthe lack of the essential security conditions.
A third Paediatric Centre was opened in Port Sudan,
Red Sea State, in December 2011.
Since 2007, EMERGENCY has treated 261,734
people in Sudan.
