This research studies the perception, training and awareness of Comprehensive Emergency Management (CEM) among hospital staff. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information from 1060 healthcare professionals. This covered their demographics, how important they think CEM is, how familiar they are with emergency procedures, confidence levels in emergencies, and the challenges faced in introducing CEM. Results revealed that while a significant majority recognized the importance of CEM, familiarity, and training levels were inadequate. The research shows that there are large gaps in the knowledge and training used. Therefore, other people will need to do extra education to enhance emergency preparedness and patient safety in hospitals.
