As seen in the documentary, a lot of conditions could be managed before reaching hospitals, or even require hospitalization. One of the most important aspects in proving appropriate pre-hospital care is preventing dreaded complications, or even mortalities. For instance, in the documentary, if a person with TB was clinically screened, diagnosed, and given the initial medications early on, then malnutrition, anorexia, and secondary infections could be prevented, which themselves create a cascade of even more complications.
Strengthening pre-hospital care systems should not only involve infrastructures and well-trained personnel within proximity, but also the members of the community. Properly equipping them with first-aid techniques and initial management protocols that match well with the available resources would improve outcomes prior to definitive care. Therefore, as we strengthen pre-hospital care systems and empower members of the community, this would entail improving access to geographically isolated individuals, especially during life-threatening situations.
