Pre-hospital care allows an improvement in the outcome of patients because of the earlier detection and management of conditions. This allows health professionals to be able to give preventive care, based on the resources easily available to them.  Though this sounds like what should be the norm in our world today, the concept of pre-hospital, or even hospital care, is not attainable to all Filipinos. The lack of access to healthcare, both due to physical and financial plants, prohibits patients from receiving care that they should be receiving. This documentary highlights the importance treating health issues not just by giving medications and by one-time checkups, but rather it reminds us the importance of treating the root problem of inaccessible healthcare. Diseases like TB, burns, and malnutrition, may be somewhat easy to treat here in the metro. But for areas where access to basic healthcare is scarce, these disease will continue to exist, and coexist, leading to a never ending health problem for many Filipinos.
