The organization and operation of emergency pre-hospital care - presentation of the current situation in Greece and of the International experience.
Summary:
The primary purpose of this dissertation is to collect, evaluate and analyze data, through bibliography review of various sources (books, newspapers, scientific articles, internet articles, working experience, studies at the Hellenic National Centre for Emergency Care/ EKAB Institute of Vocational Training in Athens, etc) aiming at the presentation of the organization and operation of Emergency Pre-hospital Healthcare, depicting the current situation in other countries internationally as well as in Greece.
The depiction of the operations and problems of the Hellenic National Centre for Emergency Care (EKAB) as well as of other countries internationally is the main subject, focusing on the presentation of suggestions as the EKAB Organization today lacks not only staff but also means and equipment provided and used. What is mainly detected as a problem is the large geographical area that the EKAB is asked to cover daily, with minimal means of operational fleet in relation to the population of Greece.
In this dissertation, there is presentation of statistic data which indicate the great extent of the problem by which the National Health System is plagued and which demands imminent solution for the improvement of the citizen national health. What is of great interest is the misuse of the EKAB ambulance fleet by citizens, who exploit the system in order to get round the waiting line in the country’s on-duty hospitals.
Finally, in this study, there are conclusions drawn which derive from its writing as well as certain suggestions aiming at the solution to the problems that have been infesting pre-hospital care in Greece.
