[Coordination of surgical relief concepts in the international community].
Concerned by the increasing number and extent of disasters, the international community declared the period from 1990-2000 an international decade for natural disaster reduction (IDNDR). The "United Nations Disaster Relief Organisation" (UNDRO) was restructured into the "Department of Humanitarian Affairs" (DHA) to study ways and means of improving the co-ordination of international relief operations at the site of a disaster. This included the establishment of the "United Nations Disaster Assessment and Co-ordination Stand-by Team" (UNDAC) and the "On-site Operations Co-ordination Centre" (OSOCC) concept. Surgical relief teams had to implement new concepts regarding mission indication, guidelines, ethical code of conduct and measures of improved prevention, rehabilitation, reconstruction and sustainable development.
