The ambulance service is one of the basic services that countries are keen to secure and provide to their citizens in order to preserve their wealth and lives and to protect the achievements of development, , especially since the risks surrounding the human being and the possibility of his exposure to various injuries are constantly increasing due to scientific and technological development and the use of machines and Modern equipment and machinery, which requires taking all preventive measures, providing assistance and providing a quick and effective ambulance service from the first moments of injury.
since 1956, the year in which the Jordan Civil Defense was established based on an order by His Majesty the late King, may his soul rest, the successive departments of this noble humanitarian organization have been keen to develop the ambulance service provided to citizens and provide all safety requirements, knowing that before ambulance operations were provided in primitive ways and traditional and by people who are not qualified in this field.
In 1959, with the issuance of the first civil defense law and the assignment of the task of providing ambulance service to injuries resulting from firefighting and rescue incidents, interest in the subject of ambulance began based on well-studied scientific foundations, even though the level of service that was provided to the injured and was not advanced at the first aid.
The progress that the world witnessed in the sixties and seventies of the last century in all aspects of life highlighted new dangers threatening human life , which necessitated developing the capabilities of the Civil Defense and its sciences to enable the cadres of this great humanitarian agency to improve their level of dealing with various incidents and injuries resulting from them.
