[Emergency medical service in practice].
Specific to France and recognised worldwide, the SAMU (emergency medical service) is an essential element of French public health care. The concept is to take the hospital outside its walls and treat the person on the spot and in as short a time as possible. The emergency medical service has a multidisciplinary approach.
