Although emergency medical services (EMS) and pre-hospital care have existed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) since 1934, emergency medicine (EM) is a relatively new medical field in the country that was not formally recognized as a medical specialty until 2001. In 2005, the Saudi Board of Emergency Medicine formed to develop, implement, and evaluate a standardized curriculum for EM residents. Since then, EM and the pre-hospital system in the KSA has evolved and grown. This article provides an overview of emergency medicine in Saudi Arabia and the progress it has made in the pre-hospital system, healthcare delivery system, and emergency medicine training. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities faced as this specialty continues to develop.
尽管自1934年以来沙特阿拉伯王国就已经有了紧急医疗服务(EMS)和院前护理,但急诊医学(EM)在该国却是一个相对较新的医学领域,直到2001年才被正式承认为一个医学专业。2005年,沙特急诊医学委员会成立,旨在为急诊医学住院医师制定、实施和评估标准化课程。从那时起,沙特阿拉伯的急诊医学和院前系统不断发展壮大。本文概述了沙特阿拉伯的急诊医学及其在院前系统、医疗服务提供系统和急诊医学培训方面取得的进展。最后,我们将讨论该专业在持续发展过程中面临的挑战和机遇。
