Heathrow Air Ambulance in Rescue, Medical Air Transport of Injured Patient

Feb. 18, 2015 - PRLog -- Heathrow Air Ambulance (HAA), a medical air and ground private ambulance provider, recently coordinated the last-minute evacuation of a critically injured British Citizen from a resort on the coast of Colombia back to the United Kingdom. The patient was involved in an accident while on vacation and was originally admitted to a local hospital, which was unable to provide proper care for the injuries sustained. Heathrow Air Ambulance dispatched an air ambulance medical team to pick up the individual and saved the person's life.

"The medical team stabilized the patient during transport and coordinated with the receiving hospital to have the proper team of specialists ready to take over care upon arrival," said Colin Walker-White, managing director of Heathrow Air Ambulance.

The air ambulance team flew all night from South America to the UK, taking the patient to the receiving hospital, where doctors performed lifesaving surgery. The patient is still recovering from the injuries, but improving each day. Heathrow Air Ambulance is working with the patient and family to ensure that his health insurance coverage pays for the entire transport.
