Global Urgent Matters extends the Urgent Matters mission beyond the United States, spotlighting emergency medicine research and quality improvement from health systems around the world. Developed in partnership with the Global Emergency Medicine team at the George Washington University, these articles highlight the work of clinicians and researchers — many based in South Asia — who are advancing emergency and acute care in their own communities.
Our writing team collaborates with international authors to translate original studies into concise, accessible articles for our global audience of emergency care stakeholders. Topics span pediatric emergency care, injury and envenomation, acute gastrointestinal conditions, prehospital and bystander response, and other challenges facing emergency departments worldwide. Through Global Urgent Matters, we aim to share field-tested strategies and locally driven innovations that can inform and strengthen emergency care across diverse settings.
