Epidemiology and Practice of Emergency Medicine in India and Developed countries

Abstract

• The rapid assessment and treatment of patients who arrive with acute diseases or
• injuries falls within the specialty of emergency medicine. Emergency medical care
• (EM) is still mostly uncontrolled and a poorly defined specialty in India and many
• other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We anticipate a physician shortage
• in most medical professions. Obstacles encountered in the practice of emergency
• medicine in industrialized nations such as India include a shortage of qualified
• emergency medicine experts and a lack of standardization in emergency treatment.
