dc.description.abstract	In this work, we define the Nearest Doctor Problem (NDP) for finding the closest doctor in case of an emergency and present a secure multi-party computation for solving it. The solution is based on a privacy-preserving cryptographic protocol and makes use of the current location of each participating doctor. The protocol is efficient and protects the privacy of the location of all doctors. A prototype implementing the proposed solution for a community of doctors that use mobile devices to obtain their current location is presented.	en_UK
