Description
Takoutsing and Zolo set out barriers and fixes for ambulance care in poor settings in twenty twenty-three. Prehospital care is the treatment given before a patient reaches hospital. It is vital, yet many low income countries lack organised services. Disease burdens there make the gap especially costly.
Building a service involves many stakeholders across the health system. Cost is a central barrier, along with training and coordination. The authors map expected obstacles at each level of care delivery. For each, they propose workable solutions suited to local needs. The aim is a system that is affordable and sustainable. Such services also support wider global health goals, they argue.
