Abstract
Abstract This review identified the critical gaps in pre-hospital emergency medical services (EMS) in Ethiopia, highlighting their detrimental impact on health outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations. There are significant barriers to timely access to care, contributing to elevated morbidity and mortality rates from preventable conditions. Establishment of a structured pre-hospital care framework, emphasizing the need for trained emergency medical technicians, national EMS guidelines, and an effective emergency communication system is recommended. These findings advocate for enhanced community awareness and collaboration among stakeholders to address logistical challenges. As result, there is urgency of implementing systemic improvements in pre-hospital care to mitigate health disparities and foster economic development in Ethiopia.
