medical helicopter

A medical helicopter, also known as a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS), is a specially equipped aircraft used to quickly transport critically ill or injured patients to medical facilities. These helicopters are staffed with medical professionals and equipped with advanced medical equipment, allowing for on-site treatment and rapid transfer. They are particularly useful in emergencies where ground transportation is too slow or inaccessible, such as at crash sites, remote locations, or densely populated areas. The goal is to provide rapid, high-quality medical care and ensure the patient reaches specialized treatment as quickly as possible.
