Pre-hospital care plays a major role in improving outcomes for patients as it involves the first line in giving appropriate treatment or management to medical emergencies. This is especially true with acute life-threatening conditions such as trauma which require quick intervention to improve prognosis. In the provided documentary, there were several obstacles encountered while trying to provide patients the proper medical care from far-flung barangays from lack of sustainable and accessible transportation system to poorly-equipped health centers. These barriers added to the feeling of helplessness of the community members and made them develop poor health-seeking behaviors.
Thus, a well-equipped health center with appropriately trained staff can be the difference between life and death for such patients. Additionally, an effective system (i.e. ambulance availability, active communication among healthcare institutions/providers, trained allies to healthcare) should also be established so that the proper management be given to the patient, from initial assessment to transport to handover and initial management of patient in the appropriate setting (i.e. hospital equipped to address the situation) and in the least time possible. This way, the patient will have an easier access to the care he/she deserves or needs to survive his/her condition.
