- Title
Prehospital emergency care in South East Asia: Three cities.
- Authors
Smith, Gavin
- Abstract
The article explores existing health care standards and accessibility to prehospital care in three South-East Asian countries including Singapore, Hua Hin in Thailand, and Siem Reap in Cambodia. It likewise explores the impact of governmental health policy and economic capability on the provision and structure of prehospital care systems in the said cities. It found out that the focus of emergency health care in the said cities relies heavily on the hospital system, with little emphasis on prehospital care other than rapid transport. It adds that the quality of care available at all levels appears to be directly related to the economic status of that country.
