Pre-hospital care is essential in the early recognition, assessment, and management of patients, especially those requiring immediate, life-saving measures. The documentary revealed that several patients who have medical emergencies or chronic, debilitating conditions are forced to delay seeking medical attention due to the lack of paved roads, appropriate transportation, and nearby health facilities. Because health centers/hospitals are located in towns that require hours of walking and using makeshift “ambulances” to reach, people from the mountains and other remote places are often forced to deal with their injuries or diseases on their own, with some only deciding to seek consult when their status is severe, while others do not even attempt to leave anymore. As a result, treatable cases become complicated ones as patients’ diseases worsen or even occur with new diseases. These realities, interlaced with poverty and insufficient funding for health, further impede efficient and effective emergency care, causing patients with potentially reversible conditions to suffer from significant morbidity or even death.
