Pre-hospital care is the assessment and stabilization of patients prior to or while mobilizing them into the hospital and often includes transport. With this, patients are being given the care that they need immediately without having to wait to be accommodated in a facility. Healthcare is accessible even at the scene of injury or tragedy and is not boxed in a building. It was shown that survival rate becomes much higher for patients with adequate prehospital care given.
In the Philippines, prehospital care is inefficient, and the video showed a few aspects as to why this is so. Transport is laborious, there are no equipment available, and there is no support. And this is just the beginning of deeply rooted issues surrounding pre-hospital care in our country.
