摘要：

Health care planners in Costa Rica, seeking to upgrade their emergency medical services, contracted with United States agencies for additional funding and established a national program for the development of an emergency medical service system. Three years later some of the problems and accomplishments of both the planning and early implementation phases have been identified and include the importance of a detailed assessment of current system components, resources, and priorities; the early implementation of an accurate data collection system; early planning for system self-sufficiency; the vital role of the lead agency with formal lines of authority; the careful development of local expertise and leadership. The continuing efforts in Costa Rica provide a valuable resource for other countries as they face their emergency health care needs. © 1991.
