United Rescue Cyprus, an innovative, volunteer-based rapid response system, has officially launched in Cyprus and aims to transform the way life-saving medical care is delivered across the island.

Drawing on the expertise of United Rescue of Israel – a model that successfully mobilises over 9,000 volunteers and reaches incidents within 90 seconds in major urban areas – United Rescue Cyprus aims to bridge the critical gap between the onset of a medical emergency and the arrival of an ambulance.
