The paper reviews several emergency health care delivery systems and suggests possible remedies. The health care sector is inefficient due to lack of effective management and access to patients' health records especially in an emergency. Emergency care systems are very important. The acutely ill and injured receive fast and suitable care through emergency health care systems. The need of strengthening health care systems as a fundamental component for achieving improved health outcomes is receiving more emphasis. Improving emergency medicine will make a significant contribution toward obtaining good health care. Emergency medicine will be more accessible if there is a good road network, Management Information System (MIS), surveillance systems and emergency call centers that are connected to ambulance services and hospitals. The paper will be of immense benefit to all health care workers, hospitals and Government.
