Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) is the most basic, life-saving care that every critically ill patient should receive, regardless of age, diagnosis, or setting. It focuses on the timely identification and initial management of critical illness by supporting vital organ functions using low-cost, effective, and feasible interventions. EECC is designed to be implemented across all hospital settings—from emergency units to general wards—. These slides provide an overview of the EECC concept, its clinical processes, hospital readiness requirements, and its potential to improve outcomes and save lives across health systems.
