Extract

EMS in developing countries must be established as a high priority, since it is one of the key elements in making possible any realistic improvement in health care. In Egypt, the pre-hospital phase of EMS is a highly visible commitment to the welfare of the nation and is a catalyst for other health activities. Satisfying needs identified in rural health care, such as high-risk infants, trauma, and time-related health problems, will be facilitated by an effective EMS system. EMS must be adapted to fit the culture of the people and their specific needs.
