  • Title: Emergency medicine systems advancement through community-based development.
    Author: Bloem MM, Bloem CM, Rosentsveyg J, Arquilla B.
    Journal: Prehosp Disaster Med; 2014 Feb; 29(1):75-9. PubMed ID: 24429185.
    Abstract:
    Humanitarian health programs frequently focus on immediate relief and are supply side oriented or donor driven. More emphasis should be placed on long-term development projects that engage local community leaders to ensure sustainable change in health care systems. With the Emergency Medicine Educational Exchange (EMEDEX) International Rescue, Recover, Rebuild initiative in Northeast Haiti as a model, this paper discusses the opportunities and challenges in using community-based development to establish emergency medical systems in resource-limited settings.
