In this paper, we describe a system offering a solution to the problem of ambulance management and emergency incident handling in the prefecture of Attica in Greece. It is based on a Geographic Information System (GIS) coupled with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technologies. The system's operation is expected to minimize the ambulances' response time. Consequently, there will be a drastic improvement in the way emergency incidents are being handled. This fact will thus significantly affect the quality of health services offered to citizens.
