The child in the EMS system.
Preventable accidents and injuries are the major threat to the health care of children. The solution to this problem is a functioning emergency medical services system with the prevention aspect being unquestionably the most important. The first step to the enhanced function of the EMS system is to make the medical community and the lay public aware of its roles in this system and, secondly, to foster cooperation among all participants. The intent of the "Year of the Child in EMS" campaign is to contribute to this effort.
