The aim is to analyze disaster trends and EMT deployments to enhance emergency medical response capacities worldwide.
Utilized secondary data to estimate 50-year global and regional disaster trends.
Conducted a scoping review of EMT deployments from 2010 to 2023.
Estimated cumulative frequency and impact of disasters across WHO regions.
Notable increases in disaster trends, especially floods and storms, with regional disparities.
The African Region had the highest disaster frequency, while the Western Pacific Region reported the greatest health impacts.
EMT responses were primarily to epidemics, meteorological disasters, and earthquakes, mainly in low or middle-income countries.
