Pre-hospital care is important in improving the outcomes for patients with acute life-threatening conditions since it will help stabilize the patient before definitive treatment can be initiated. This is where the ABCDEs of the primary survey comes in, with appropriate management for each step. However, as seen in the documentary, many have still no access to these services. Aside from the lack of personnel and resources, pre-hospital care is also impeded by the lack of decent roads and transport options for patients in far-flung areas. Because of these problems, it was mentioned that sometimes, patients just die on their way to the nearest health facility. These issues show the great health inequities in our country. Thus, we must strive to improve health access to these patients. We need to improve and ensure adequate health personnel and resources. We should also aim to improve the transportation options in these areas. Together with other options, we may be able to deliver quality pre-hospital care to patients with acute life-threatening conditions.
