Conclusion
Over the last forty years Palestinian
hospitals have transitioned from
treating emergency cases in hospital
wards to the establishment of
minimally staffed/equipped
emergency rooms.
We are currently in the next phase of
development in emergency care and
need to move our Emergency
Rooms to fully functional Emergency
Departments in both structure,
system, and design.
