Most emergency medical services are provided by Princess Margaret Hospital and Rand Memorial Hospital located respectively on those 2 islands. A detailed description of the delivery, training, and organization of emergency medicine, as well as out-of-hospital care, is provided. Furthermore, disaster preparedness and the future direction of emergency medicine are discussed.
