Pre-hospital care is an area of emergency practice, which is time-sensitive and logistics-requiring. The documentary showed that we don’t have the luxury (although it should be our right) of time, resources, and immediate access to health care, especially in GIDAs and rural areas. With effective pre-hospital care, we will not have treatable diseases turn into life-threatening conditions. There is no hesitation that effective pre-hospital care is vital in preventing premature mortality and morbidity. Nonetheless, some follow-up questions we should ponder on– How can we provide early and effective medical care? Who is responsible for our right to health? What resources, skills, and EMS systems do we need? Knowing that health is multifactorial, what are the factors we need to address delayed medical care? Moreover, how can we take advantage of our Bayanihan spirit?
