Poor access to acute care resources to treat major trauma in low- and middle-income settings: A self-reported survey of acute care providersDOI: 10.1016/j.afjem.2019.01.004 Keywords: Self-report, Specialization, Global health, Income, Emergency medicine, Developed countries Abstract: Injury and violence are neglected global health concerns, despite being largely predictable and therefor preventable. We conducted a small study to indirectly describe and compare the perception of availability of resources to manage major trauma in high-income, and low- and middle-income countries using evidence-based guidance (as per the 2016 National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines), as self-reported by delegates attending the 2016 International Conference on Emergency Medicine held in South Africa
