Medivac

Medivac, short for medical evacuation, is the safe transportation of injured or ill individuals—such as soldiers, patients, or disaster victims—from the scene of an emergency to a medical facility. This process often involves specialized aircraft like helicopters or fixed-wing planes equipped with medical staff and equipment to provide care during transit. The goal of medivac is to quickly and safely deliver patients to appropriate medical care, especially in situations where ground transportation is too slow, difficult, or unavailable. It is an essential component of emergency response and healthcare systems worldwide.
