Egypt’s PM Inspects New Hayah Karima Ambulance Hub in Giza
Madbouly Highlights Critical Role of Emergency Services in Rural Development
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly today inspected the operational launch of the Al-Wadi village ambulance point in Giza’s El-Saff district. The facility, spanning 250 square meters, is a key component of the presidential “Hayah Karima” (Decent Life) initiative, which Madbouly toured.
Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development and Minister of Health and Population, underscored President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s commitment to developing the Egyptian Ambulance Authority. He emphasized its vital role as the first line of defense in emergencies, a crucial tool for saving lives and mitigating crisis impacts.
The Deputy Prime Minister affirmed that upgrading the ambulance system is not optional but a necessity, pursued with diligence and determination. This comes amid increasing challenges, including population density, urban expansion, and evolving health conditions. He also highlighted the importance of integrating the Ambulance Authority with other healthcare system components to ensure a comprehensive care chain, aiming for patient recovery rather than just transport, stressing the keen focus on reducing response times.
