Jakarta, MINA — Emergency Medical Team‑Muhammadiyah (EMT Muhammadiyah) has been officially verified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an international-standard emergency medical team, making it the first such group from Indonesia to receive this recognition.
The verification, which follows a process initiating in 2017, involved comprehensive upgrades in capacity, training and application of WHO’s operational standards. The formal confirmation came after a pre-verification phase held on July 9-10 2025 in Yogyakarta, with technical support from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and International Search and Rescue (ISAR) Germany.
The status was granted following an official hand-over of a “Confirmation Letter, EMT Global Classification” by WHO’s EMT Secretariat, to EMT Muhammadiyah, in Yogyakarta.
According to the organisation’s leadership, the milestone delivers on their 2022-2027 strategic vision to globalise their humanitarian and health-service mission.
