Abstract
Emergency medicine and trauma care are critical components of public health, especially in underserved and disaster-prone regions. Community-based training programs have proven effective in equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to respond promptly to medical emergencies, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality. This paper explores the role of community training programs in emergency medicine and trauma care, focusing on their implementation, benefits, challenges, and impact on public health.
