The idea of this project came as part of the initiative launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein to improve ambulance services in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the quality of pre-hospital medical care for citizens and residents alike. The ambulance service is considered the frontline of the healthcare system, accessible across the kingdom at all times, aiming to prevent patient conditions from worsening, accelerate recovery, and often avoid unnecessary hospital visits.

This service is provided by the Civil Defense Directorate / Public Security Directorate in partnership with the Royal Medical Services and the Ministry of Health through highly qualified and trained paramedics using the latest medical equipment and devices, emergency medications, and fully equipped ambulances, supported by highly skilled emergency physicians.

Ambulances in Civil Defense are equipped with a medical data transfer system that collects vital signs and medical data from patients using devices capable of storing and transmitting this information to physicians for analysis. Physicians then provide immediate medical instructions to paramedics before reaching the hospital.
