Activities of Organisations Specialising in and Supporting the Health Response to Major Incidents and Disasters

Abstract

In Hungary, one can count on the treatment of a large number of injured people at any time during disasters, which are quite frequent. In order for the scene activity to be efficient and dynamic, and for the available capacity to be used properly, there
is a need for coordinated co-operation between the  on-site and the organisations involved in the care, and for all members to follow the principles of disaster medicine.
The purpose of the article is to analyse and evaluate the activities of organisations involved in and supporting the health response to incidents that result in a large
number of injured patients.
