An Emergency Medical Service (EMS) can be defined as “a comprehensive system which provides the arrangements of personnel, facilities, and equipment for the effective, coordinated, and timely delivery of health and safety services to victims of sudden illness or injury.”

The aim of EMS focuses on providing timely care to victims of sudden and life-threatening injuries or emergencies in order to prevent needless mortality or long-term morbidity.

The function of EMS can be simplified into four main components;

• accessing emergency care,
• care in the Community,
• care enroute,
• care upon arrival to receiving care at the health care facility.
