dc.description.abstract | Obstacles to developing effective Emergency Medical Services (EMS) include a lack of structural models, inappropriate training foci, concerns about cost, and sustainability in the face of a high demand for services. This reported case study from Thailand demonstrated how these obstacles had been addressed through incremental changes via a few initiatives on trauma care. Universal health insurance system and health systems and health financing reforms had taken place during the last 2 decades, and created a window of opportunity for sustainable EMS development in Thailand. | en_US |
