In addition, Emergency sets up development projects in the countries where it operates and trains national staff to meet highly professional standards. The organization currently operates in Afghanistan, Algeria, Cambodia, Iraq, Palestine, Sierra Leone, and Sudan. It has been present in Iraq since 1995, where it has established 2 surgical centers (a third center is presently under construction in Kerbala), three rehabilitation and social reintegration centers, a pediatric burn unit, an adult burn unit, a spinal unit and 22 first aid posts.
