UPEC

Establishment of UPEC

World-class healthcare must include a world-class pre-hospital emergency care system. Pre-hospital emergency care (PEC) refers to the provision of emergency medical care in a pre- or out-of-hospital setting to an acutely ill or injured patient.

It is a uniquely time-sensitive domain of healthcare where early recognition and intervention have profound impacts on patient outcomes.

In February 2013, the Unit for Pre-hospital Emergency Care (UPEC) was established by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to coordinate, monitor and implement various PEC strategies, as well as to provide clinical and operational oversight.

Our vision is to establish a world-class PEC system that is readily accessible to all and to provide excellent patient outcomes.
