Effective, Simple and Low Cost Life Saving Care
45 million people become critically ill globally each year. Over 10 million die. Many deaths are preventable.
Our Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) program drives the implementation of 40 fundamental life-saving treatments and actions in hospitals, designed to avert 1 million preventable deaths worldwide. EECC costs just $14 per healthy life-year saved*
Actions that save lives
EECC is a package of 40 treatments and actions for the identification and treatment of critically ill patients.
This package includes treating problems with patients’ airways, breathing, circulation and reduced levels of consciousness.
EECC reduces both mortality and morbidity for critically ill patients, and has been shown to be “highly cost effective”.
Evidence based interventions
Backed by 15 years of research, our package ensures that all critically ill patients receive a fundamental standard of care.
We are transforming the care of critically ill patients through an evidence and equity based approach.
We have a network of 1000s of highly-experienced medical and professional experts
Partnering with international organizations like WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank, Doctors Without Borders, and national Ministries of Health, we are changing how critical care is understood and provided worldwide.

“No one should die from a cause that EECC could treat no matter what ward, what hospital, or what country they're in. The 40 foundational EECC treatments and actions must become standard in the care of critical illness worldwide.”
