Prehospital care (PHC) is critical to the comprehensive and effective functioning of a healthcare system. Given the disproportionate burden of both communicable and non-communicable diseases in low-income nations, its significance cannot be understated. In spite of this, many of these nations lack a comprehensive PHC system. Setting up a cost-effective PHC system in this environment can be difficult and necessitate a variety of stakeholders at various healthcare delivery system levels. Therefore, it is necessary to consider these anticipated barriers and identify feasible solutions for its execution. This will assist in creating a PHC system that is suited to the local needs and achieve sustainable and global health goals. This paper describes the challenges and solutions to establishing a prehospital care service in a low-resource setting.
