The study aims to review the different systems of emergency care in North American, European, and Pan-Asian countries and to perform a comparative analysis of these modes of organisation. The emergency care systems of Kyrgyzstan, Germany, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates were analysed, and it was determined that the Anglo-American and Franco-German model of emergency care is currently dominant in the world. The main difference with the system built in Kazakhstan is that ambulance brigades in the above countries consist of nursing staff, in these countries there is a double triage of patients at the stage of call and the stage of distribution of patients in the emergency department, and the last main difference is that the emergency department in Kazakhstan is organised based on an emergency room and does not include intensive care, dynamic observation, there is no diagnostic unit and palliative care unit. Another difference is the training of non-medical services in the comparison countries, such as police and firefighters, who have the necessary basic skills to provide emergency care. This study will help in the future to use foreign experience in the organisation of emergency care in the Republic of Kazakhstan, which may have a positive impact on the quality and speed of emergency care
