This document proposes developing a web-based emergency application for Egypt that indicates the nearest emergency care facilities and regional transportation services. It notes that timely treatment is critical for life-threatening medical emergencies in developing countries. The application aims to make accessing emergency care easier by reducing delays through transportation assistance. It concludes that emergency medical systems need to be upgraded and integrated with hospitals to effectively respond to both common incidents and disasters.

Abstract
A significant burden of diseases in developing countries is brought by time-sensitive
illnesses and injuries, such as severe infections, dehydration caused by diarr hoea,
postpartum bleeding, and acute myocardial infarction. The provision of timely treatment
during life-threatening emergencies should be a priority for many health systems in
developing countries. Medical emergencies are time sensitive, because the longer the time
that elapses before recognition and treatment, the greater the likelihood of morbidity,
mortality or disability. Accessing emergency medical care should therefore be made easy.
Delays in accessing care can be reduced through transportation. Systems for transporting
patients with medical emergencies to health care facilities are essential. This paper
designates the need to develop emergency application for access to nearest emergency care
that indicates the regional referral transportation facilities.

CONCLUSION
The links between the common situations such as accidents and rare situations such as major
emergencies and disasters should receive more attention. The creation of networks, of best
practices, of reference standards for the services offered should become a part of the overall
policy of the health sector in promoting health risk management. The EMS plays a key role in
the case of disasters and should be upgraded to become the backbone of the medical response
for including pre-hospital as well as hospital activities. The EMS is part of the community-based
services that are governed by the conceptual framework of risk management.
