Abstract
I will discuss several related research projects, broadly within emergency and urgent healthcare services. This includes working with ambulance providers and the Indonesian Government to help them make critical decisions on the optimal types, capacities and geographical locations of response vehicles. Such factors directly impact on the probability of patient survival, ability to respond to major disasters, and the overall quality of care provided. There are however many challenges faced in Indonesia, including vast geographical areas, traffic congestion, inadequate numbers of ambulances and a lack of a co-ordinated service.
