Abstract: With increasing industrialization and urbanization, accidents, violence and emergencies are quickly becoming one of the leading causes of death in Sub-Saharan Africa, and are already the second leading cause of death there among adolescents and adults. However, pre-hospital emergency medical systems are almost non-existent in Africa, and current models of emergency medical systems from Western countries are too expensive for developing countries to supportmeaning that many will die for want of basic first aid and/or transportation. In response, governments in Africa are exploring new, innovative options for pre-hospital emergency care. This talk explores the problems that these countries face, potential solutions on the horizon, and the future of emergency care in Sub-Saharan Africa.
About the Speaker: Jared Sun graduated from Stanford University and completed a Fulbright the following year in Cape Town, South Africa, where he also obtained a PhD in Emergency Medicine at the University of Cape Town and researched pre-hospital care in developing countries. He currently studies at the Yale School of Medicine, and is on the editorial board for the African Journal of Emergency Medicine. Jared trained as an EMT in high school after being incorrectly registered for what he thought was a lifeguard training course.
