Abstract

The limitations faced by primary care in addressing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment were highlighted as key to improving patient prognosis, but obstacles persisted, such as insufficient training of medical personnel, lack of resources, and the absence of standardised protocols. Various studies showed that many doctors were not adequately prepared to recognise and treat STEMI effectively, a situation exacerbated by deficiencies in practical medical education, especially during the pandemic. The need to strengthen clinical training, adequately equip health centres and establish integrated networks to ensure rapid access to reperfusion treatments was also highlighted. The study concluded that only a comprehensive approach would improve the healthcare response to this critical emergency.
