Abstract:
The Republic of the Seychelles enjoys a sophisticated health care system by developing country standards. Basic food, water, sanitation, and preventative health care needs have been addressed and the Seychelles Ministry of Health has recently focused on the need to improve the country's emergency medical services (EMS). In response to this need, a joint international collaborative effort designed to improve the island's EMS was launched. This report profiles the current health care system in the Seychelles, with special emphasis on EMS. It also describes an international collaborative effort between the Seychelles Ministry of Health and the UCLA Center for International Emergency Medicine designed to improve existing EMS.
