Más información sobre el libro

Improving ambulance response times in low-income countries is the focus of this research, highlighting the importance of dispatcher training in emergency medical services (EMS). The study, centered on the Osh Ambulance Service in Kyrgyzstan, reveals that low-cost training can significantly enhance response efficiency, reducing average times from 23.18 to 20.15 minutes. Although these changes show statistical significance, their clinical impact remains uncertain. The thesis advocates for continued research into EMS in developing nations, emphasizing the potential role of healthcare professionals in these improvements.
