Abstract
Essential medications, supplies, and functional equipment are needed for
emergency care. But in lower middle-income countries (LMICs), there are major obstacles that
prevent the provision of safe emergency care, such as a shortage of physical resources (supply
and equipment) or medications. Several studies have suggested that the PHC level should
establish and implement emergency services in order to reduce the burden on hospital emergency
departments. Even though research regarding emergency capacity analysis has been done at
hospital level, data are lacking at the health center level. Therefore, it’s important to assess these
facilities.
