EMS system is highly public area and governments have a lot responsibility for EMS system because it is simultaneously based on medical knowledge, public health system and community safety.

To meet the demands of public, Korean government began in earnest to establish the modern EMS system. In this study, the development process of EMS was reviewed as four phases historically; basic infrastructure phase(1990~2000), quantitative growth phase(2001~2005), qualitative growth phase (2006~2010) and advanced system phase (2010~present). On the other aspect, the development was reviewed as three components systemically; prehospital EMS system, hospital EMS system and health care governance and system development.(The rest omitted)
