history

DIVI was founded on January 19, 1977 by the German Society for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine , the German Society for Internal Intensive Care Medicine and the Working Group for Neonatology and Pediatric Intensive Care Medicine as the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care Medicine (DIVI). The aim was to found an umbrella organization to jointly represent the interests of intensive care medicine. The Rescue Medicine Section was founded in 1980 in order to be able to better represent the interests of emergency and rescue medicine and to prevent the establishment of an independent German Society for Rescue Services. In 1986 the disaster medicine section was founded. The very active emergency medicine and disaster medicine sections gave rise to the idea of ​​including emergency medicine in the company name, also under the aspect of countering the establishment of an independent German society for emergency medicine . In 1989 the name was changed to German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and Emergency Medicine eV The abbreviation DIVI was retained. In 2008 the DIVI was fundamentally reformed, including the transformation from an umbrella organization into a specialist society and opening up to individual members.
