Extract

“The Club of Mainz for Improved Emergency and Disaster Medicine Worldwide” was founded in 1976 by ten concerned resuscitologists from seven countries under the leadership of the late Rudolf Frey, who then was Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, West Germany. The Club was founded because the potentials of modern resuscitation and life support are not realized in most everyday emergencies and natural and manmade disasters throughout the world. The idea was initiated in discussions between Frey and Safar during the International Symposium on Advanced Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Delivery Systems in Mainz in September 1973.
