Pre-hospital care is vital in the improvement of patient outcomes, and this is especially true for those with acute life-threatening conditions who require immediate intervention. During our EM rotation this year, we were taught that any delay in the management of patients can translate into catastrophic consequences for their health. Therefore, pre-hospital care must be improved so that patients may still be managed sufficiently even prior to hospital admission since access to large healthcare facilities may not always be immediately possible and resources at these facilities may not always be sufficient. With this, greater efforts should be made to ensure that pre-hospital care and healthcare as a whole are made more accessible and available to less serviced areas in order to lessen the burden of disease and mortality in the country.
