Reaching treatment as soon as possible without endangering the patient is the key to reducing patient morbidity and mortality. Through improvement of pre-hospital care, we can have the necessary trained personnel, equipment, telecommunications, transportation services, and referral system to be able to reach patients in time and stabilize them enough so that they can be safely transported to the appropriate facility. In the Philippines particularly, there is a weak pre-hospital care system which results in a high morbidity and mortality rate especially in young Filipinos who are at most risk to vehicular accidents and violent means of injury.
