Toward the Development of Emergency Medical Service System in Thailand: An Experience at Khon Kaen Regional Hospital
Abstract
Injury is the major health problem in Thailand. It is the complex social problem and extremely difficult to deal with. The co-operative efforts from various concerned healthcare institutes and government organizations are essential in solving the problem. Khon Kaen Province has realized the tremendous loss resulting from all types of injury, thus an "Injury Prevention and Control Project" has been set up since 1989. The main activity of both injury prevention and trauma service development consists of trauma registry, pre-hospital care, trauma audit, inter-hospital transfer and mass casualty control network. This project has since enabled Khon Kaen Province to reduce the number of injury and death especially from traffic accident. In addition, the model of injury prevention and control of Khon Kaen Province has become an example for expansion of such development to many other provincial hospitals in the country.
