The response time of ambulances is a decisive factor in managing emergency incidents.
Every second that is lost has a negative impact on life-threatening situations. The faster an ambulance responds, the higher the chances of survival for patients in all emergency conditions. The geographical distribution of ambulance stations is directly related to ambulance response time and enables faster therapeutic intervention for patients.
Taking into account the population of Cyprus and its geographical area, the Ambulance Service has developed ambulance stations in 26+2 different strategic locations, based on the number of units in proportion to the population and the maximum permissible ambulance response time.
The sole objective is the preservation of human life by combining the minimum response time with the optimal provision of emergency and pre-hospital healthcare.
