The evolution of emergency medical services (EMS) has transformed significantly over the decades, reflecting advancements in medical knowledge, technology, and societal needs. Starting in the mid-20th century, the concept of pre-hospital care began to gain traction, initially characterized by basic first aid and transport methods. As communities recognized the importance of rapid medical intervention, the demand for more organized and efficient services grew. This period marked a pivotal moment, as it laid the groundwork for modern EMS, emphasizing the need for trained personnel who could provide care en route to medical facilities.
