Categorical
Indicator Id:
238
Definition:
Whether the pre-hospital care system includes a universal national access number
Method of estimation:
Data were collected from a number of different sectors and stakeholders in each country and were submitted to the World Health Organization after consensus meetings, facilitated by national data coordinators. All legislative documents were analysed by lawyers at WHO headquarters who extracted the relevant information. The legal analysis was then shared with National Data Coordinators and a validation process resolved any data conflicts through discussion and submission of new legal documents.
Comments:
Data on legislation and policies represent the country situation in 2014 while data on fatalities and vehicles registration are for 2013, or the most recent year for which these data were available.
