Abstract

All institutions of the organised public medical emergency services are functions of public health welfare and risk defence, hence they are subjects to the public health department in a supervisory capacity. Legal definitions and standards are the pertaining framework. Systematic and qualified improvements of areal plans, organization and realization, material and personal equipment, and hygienic standards in the public medical emergency service are Supervisory tasks that have to be tackled by public health departments. Planning requires random tests and local spatial analysis. This may be performed by the public health department itself or by external institutions. Therefore, organized public medical emergency service is part of (communal) health reports.
