When a group of local doctors heard this news, they banded together and requested that medical equipment from the old hospital be sent to under-resourced hospitals around the world. The administration approved the request, and the doctors formed EMAS to oversee the distribution of warehouses full of donated medical equipment.<\/p>\n<p>EMAS Canada a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en relation avec une organisation s\u0153ur, EMAS Hong Kong, qui a collect\u00e9 des fonds et fourni un soutien administratif pour les voyages EMAS en Chine.<\/p>\n<p>Over 70 years later, hundreds of Canadian healthcare professionals continue to band together every year on behalf of those in need.
