Significantly, Paramedical Science has emerged globally as an important

branch of Medical Science that is highly concerned with Primary Health Care and Emergency Medical Services hence Paramedics are trained healthcare professionals whose primary role is to provide emergency care for critical and emergent patients.

Paramedics are trained to resuscitate and stabilize patients using sophisticated techniques, equipment and drugs in an emergency setting. Working in a team of two or more, paramedics are always the first responders to an emergency situation.

Today, there is an increasing realization of the importance of paramedics in our Healthcare Delivery System.

A paramedic can progress academically to become a professional paramedic, a nurse, a medical doctor, a pharmacist depending on additional training.
