Developing a prehospital care service in a low‐resource setting: Barriers and solutions

Prehospital care (PHC) is critical to the comprehensive and effective functioning of a healthcare system. Given the disproportionate burden of both communicable and non‐communicable diseases in low‐income nations, its significance cannot be understated. In spite of this, many of these nations lack a...

description Prehospital care (PHC) is critical to the comprehensive and effective functioning of a healthcare system. Given the disproportionate burden of both communicable and non‐communicable diseases in low‐income nations, its significance cannot be understated. In spite of this, many of these nations lack a comprehensive PHC system. Setting up a cost‐effective PHC system in this environment can be difficult and necessitate a variety of stakeholders at various healthcare delivery system levels. Therefore, it is necessary to consider these anticipated barriers and identify feasible solutions for its execution. This will assist in creating a PHC system that is suited to the local needs and achieve sustainable and global health goals. This paper describes the challenges and solutions to establishing a prehospital care service in a low‐resource setting.
