It is known that the Government of Ethiopia is undertaking vast and numerous developmental programs to achieve the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) series laid out for the holistic renaissance of the country. The Addis Ababa – Adama Expressway (AAE) is one of the construction mega projects developed as part of GTP-I which is open for traffic and administered by the Ethiopian Toll Roads Enterprise. Other expressways (Modjo-Hawassa and Adama-Awash) are underway and many more are planned for future development and operation in line with the dynamic socio-economic development of Ethiopia.
The health and safety of road users are paramount for ETRE, which is why it provides a comprehensive ambulance and first aid service. In the event of an accident or medical emergency on the toll roads, ETRE’s modern ambulances, equipped with state-of-the-art medical supplies and staffed by trained medical personnel, are dispatched immediately to the scene.
This service is designed to offer immediate medical care, stabilizing patients before they are transported to the nearest healthcare facility. The quick response time and the availability of first aid treatment on-site can significantly reduce the severity of injuries and improve the chances of recovery for those involved in accidents.
The ambulance service is part of a larger emergency response system that includes coordination with local hospitals and other emergency services. This ensures that patients receive comprehensive care, from the initial response at the scene of the accident to further treatment at a medical facility. ETRE’s investment in this service underscores its commitment to providing a safe and secure travel environment for all toll road users.
