Development of prehospital emergency care in Singapore

AbstractThis review paper describes the development of the pre-hospital system in Singapore from the pre-war days. Every country ’s prehospital community needs a deep understanding of how they developed over the years, factors that played a part, and the aspirations their community and government have set for this. This can guide future evolution of the services to ensure that care provided is relevant, applicable and in ke eping with the community’s needs. Countries with similar contextual circumstances, but at a different stage of development of their PECs, may learn from these.
