Pre-hospital care improves outcomes for patients with acute life-threatening conditions by stabilizing the patient en route to a medical facility capable of giving a definitive management to the patient's condition. There is a stark difference in prehospital care or the lack thereof between urban areas and far-flung communities. This was shown in the documentary wherein people living in GIDAs have difficulty with accessibility to health services. Being far away from health facilities is one problem but the lack of personnel to address common conditions within their communities is a contributing factor to this self-perpetuating problem wherein health conditions worsen through time and take a toll on the people’s finances which in turn worsens their quality of life making recovery more difficult to achieve.
