Establishing Emergency Medicine in Iran: a Post-implementation Perspective

Abstract

Author(s): Golshani, Keihan | Abstract: In the 1990s, a comprehensive evaluation of national emergency care (EC) system was performed by the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education (I-MOHME) to identify gaps in timely and proper EC delivery. It was then concluded that a refurbished patient-centered specialty, namely emergency medicine (EM), could reduce or close these gaps.
