CHINA-TIBET: AIR AMBULANCE RESCUE SERVICE

An emergency rescue center has been established in Tsechokling airport in the regional capital of Lhasa. These will be the first two air ambulances for civil use in the region. Ma Jun, Director of the Center affiliated with the Red Cross Society of Tibet, said each fully-fueled helicopter equipped with breathing machine, defibrillator and other medical facilities can carry a patient for up to 600 km. The center will provide services to seven prefectures and cities in the region. The center will have a further helicopter equipped with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and an A505 passenger aircraft, which will help deliver patients around the world. Liao Yidong, with the Red Cross Society of Tibet, said the air ambulances would make delivery of patients in critical condition much faster in the plateau region.
