Problem of congested roads is still coming strongly in Algiers which highways become slow due to the large number of cars which they enter it everyday versus to the continuous causes of the problematic that is posed until now, which forms a danger on the issues of evacuating patients in emergency or in case of pregnancy.
As victims are recorded everyday due to the complications that are dragged from the late arrival of first aid to the accident site or residence of paramedics, especially since the behaviors of drivers do not respect the sirens of ambulances to evacuate the emergency hallway.
Everyone who used the highways in various directions and entries of the capital observes everyday the sirens of emergency cars both in the highways that lead to the accident place to take the victim or return from the cite when the victim is inside the emergency car, but the most important thing that draws attention is the obligation to reach the place late due to the daily traffic congestion that may double in some days of the week in Algiers highways, to reach the peak of cars movements to 10 minutes of waiting.
This happened in front of some reasons of traffic congestion that increases from year to year, and still exists until now like the narrow entries of highways compared to what is adopted in developed countries, in addition to the absence of some collective means of transport in various areas, not to mention the various chaotic barns that is still one of the causes that lead to the emergence of negative phenomena that are sometimes dangerous, especially fir the health evacuation and taking patients to hospitals, at a time emergencies remain related to the usual classic side, pending the work with the helicopter technic to take the patients in a record time, a project that is not mentioned currently.
