N. Korea researching ways to dispatch ambulances more quickly
North Korea is conducting research into dispatching ambulances more quickly as it seeks to develop a faster and more effective emergency response system.
An article titled “An Approximate Queuing Model for Ambulance Disposition” was published in Kim Il Sung University’s academic journal (Issue 4, Volume 68, 2022), which is available on the university’s website.
“An important issue in improving the quality of emergency medical service is increasing the emergency resuscitation rate through the rational disposition of ambulances. We propose the approximate queuing model for ambulance disposition in order to minimize the average response time of the emergency medical system,” the article said.
The article explained that previously studied emergency response methods presented practical challenges for deciding the number and destination of ambulances to be dispatched when requests for assistance arrive from several locations at once. ......
