Quebec begins reopening <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Airmedic sets up a COVID-19 squad to support facilities and intervene in the regions<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

SAINT-HUBERT, QC, May 14, 2020 \u2013<\/strong> Airmedic is a company specialized in emergency air medical transport. In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, Airmedic created a COVID-19 squad. Consequently, this team supports Quebec authorities in transporting patients with COVID-19. Thanks to this initiative, Airmedic provides a solution for patients in remote regions who must reach specialized healthcare facilities in case of complications. <\/span><\/p>\n

More specifically, the Airmedic team developed a highly rigorous intervention protocol. This protocol combines a decontamination airlock with an innovative air-circulation system. Therefore, it allows effective aircraft disinfection and reduces contamination risks. Above all, the protocol aims to ensure proper protection for medical personnel. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

A COVID-19 squad serving the regions<\/h3>\n

As the government announces the reopening of some regions, many express concerns about increased risks in remote areas. Indeed, geographic distance from major specialized health centres is worrying. However, the COVID-19 squad addresses this concern. It enables safe evacuation of patients to appropriate hospitals. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>This new squad reflects the ingenuity and expertise of our teams, and I thank our staff for their commitment and hard work. In recent weeks, the protocol has proven extremely effective and clearly forms part of the solution in the fight against coronavirus, <\/span><\/i>\u201d said <\/span>Sophie Larochelle, Airmedic Executive Vice President.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

No pause for illness, falls, or accident<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Quebec may be on pause, but cardiovascular disease, chronic illness, falls, accidents, and other complications continue despite the pandemic. This is why Airmedic continues its essential mission for its members and clients through aeromedical evacuations. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

With experienced personnel, high-performance aircraft, and state-of-the-art medical equipment, teams can deliver required care from the sky on the way to the most appropriate facility for the patient\u2019s condition. Physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pilots: a full contingent of seasoned professionals works together to save more lives. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Pandemic or not, confinement or not, Airmedic is here for you. In these uncertain times, it is reassuring for the public to know we can travel at any hour, anywhere in the province. Our teams are true medical angels who will fly to your rescue regardless of the severity of your condition, <\/span><\/i>\u201d concluded Ms. Larochelle.<\/span>.<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n
