Abstract

Trauma treatment systems in specialized centers were established in health services in high-income countries more than 30 years ago. The effectiveness of these centers has been evaluated. Their results show an increase in patients’ survival rates and a minimization in post-trauma after effects Most of the times, direct import of these models is not possible in low and middle income countries, because their implementation would require availability of economic resources that is not affordable in these countries. An approach based on the evidence showed by these studies with positive results, but adjusted according to the reality of public health in each one of these countries, is necessary. It is aimed at giving better opportunities to the traumatically-injured people worldwide. This article presents a review of the Essential Trauma Care Project of the World Health Organization, and the approach advantages if used in countries like Colombia.
