Hypothetically, Libyan bloggers had different opinions about the new service. Although some welcomed it, others mocked it, pointing out that the country’s hospitals were suffering from a shortage of doctors and medicines.
In response to the measure, blogger Tahani Mubarak called on her countrymen to get the measure “positively,” to support their country, and end oppression.

Bashir expected the service to face challenges, as the streets of Tripoli are crowded and not equipped with a dedicated helipad, which, according to him, makes the service “just a lie”.

In recent years, Libya’s health sector has suffered from a serious weakness in medical personnel and a lack of equipment and medicines, as well as the great decline that health facilities in general are suffering.
A previous assessment by the World Health Organization showed that 63% of hospitals and 52% of primary health care facilities were partially or completely idle after Hurricane Daniel, which hit Libya last September, killing 4,333 person and leaves more than 8,500 missing, according to the group.
