A total of 2120 ambulance requests was extracted from Saudi Red Crescent Authority servers in Eastern Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The requests were extracted between 2017 and 2019.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two methods of request. In 2019, the shortest times for all phases of requests were recorded. “Ordinary patient” was the most common cause for requests.ConclusionOver the years, efforts by the Saudi Red Crescent Authority facilitated improvements in ambulatory services by adapting new technology and services.
