The Emergency Medical Service (EMS) sector in Nepal has evolved significantly over the last decade owing to the efforts by the private sector to improve infrastructure, adoption of technology by the service providers and upgrading the skills sets of the paramedics. However, there is still a long way to go in creating a robust and efficient EMS System across the country, largely due to the geographical landscape.
Owing to the socio-economic development leading to better standard of living, there is an increase in the population and the number of vehicles owned by the citizens. This in turn is contributing to the rise in the number of road accidents, posing a threat to life. The pressure is growing on the medical fraternity in the remote villages and more crucially, the EMS team as they have to reach the victim as quickly as possible.
