AB  - The health care burden of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in India is 
      enormous. Yet, many patients with STEMI can seldom avail timely and evidence 
      based reperfusion treatments. This gap in care is a result of financial barriers, 
      limited healthcare infrastructure, poor knowledge and accessibility of acute 
      medical services for a majority of the population. Addressing some of these 
      issues, STEMI India, a not-for-profit organization, Cardiological Society of 
      India (CSI) and Association Physicians of India (API) have developed a protocol 
      of "systems of care" for efficient management of STEMI, with integrated networks 
      of facilities. Leveraging newly-developed ambulance and emergency medical 
      services, incorporating recent state insurance schemes for vulnerable populations 
      to broaden access, and combining innovative, "state-of-the-art" information 
      technology platforms with existing hospital infrastructure, are the crucial 
      aspects of this system. A pilot program was successfully employed in the state of 
      Tamilnadu. The purpose of this article is to describe the framework and methods 
      associated with this programme with an aim to improve delivery of reperfusion 
      therapy for STEMI in India. This programme can serve as model STEMI systems of 
      care for other low-and-middle income countries.
