Erbil has launched a new smart ambulance system through the RameeGo mobile app, aiming to revolutionize emergency response across the Kurdistan Region. The system integrates GPS tracking technology to locate incidents faster, cut response times, and ensure patients receive immediate medical attention.
Officials stated that this digital upgrade marks a major step in modernizing the Region’s health infrastructure. The initiative allows dispatchers to track ambulances in real time, guide them through optimal routes, and coordinate directly with hospitals for quicker patient handovers.
Moreover, the new system serves as a foundation for future health reforms. Through digital data collection, authorities can analyze emergency trends, improve medical planning, and identify high-risk areas for better resource distribution.
Health experts welcomed the move, saying it demonstrates Kurdistan’s commitment to smart governance and technology-driven solutions. They also noted that the integration of such innovations can significantly reduce emergency-related fatalities and improve the overall efficiency of the healthcare network.
As part of the plan, the government aims to expand the service to other cities in the coming months. Officials confirmed that the project represents only the beginning of a broader strategy to enhance public health through technology and innovation.
