Aerial Medical Transport
Aerial Medical Transport refers to the use of aircraft, such as helicopters or fixed-wing planes, to transport patients in need of urgent medical care. This service is often employed in emergencies where ground transportation may be too slow or inaccessible, such as in remote areas or during natural disasters.
These transports are equipped with medical personnel and essential equipment to provide care during the flight. Aerial Medical Transport can significantly reduce travel time to hospitals, improving the chances of survival for critically ill or injured patients. Services are often coordinated with local hospitals and emergency services.
