ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Systems of Care in Africa: A Scoping Review

A myriad of barriers, as well as potential facilitators in the implementation of these networks, have been reported in this scoping review. The coordination and introduction of a STEMI SOC in African settings potentially holds great advantages, as has been witnessed in other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs).

Abstract

A myriad of barriers, as well as potential facilitators in the implementation of these networks, have been reported in this scoping review. The coordination and introduction of a STEMI SOC in African settings potentially holds great advantages, as has been witnessed in other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs).
