Abstract

The European Perspective Emergency Medical Services in Europe evolved during military conflicts from the need to transport a patient from the battle camp to a physician who could provide definitive care. Over time, individual countries developed systems that best met the needs of that community, based on culture, local welfare state approaches and relevant laws. Nonetheless, availability of health care resources and finance had had an impact on the development of such systems.
