HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service)

Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) is a specialized rescue service that uses helicopters to quickly transport critically ill or injured patients to medical facilities. Equipped with advanced medical equipment and staffed by trained paramedics and doctors, HEMS provides rapid response and advanced care during transport, especially in cases of severe trauma, heart attacks, or other urgent conditions. By bypassing traffic and reaching remote or hard-to-access areas faster than ground ambulances, HEMS plays a vital role in improving patient outcomes and ensuring timely medical intervention.
