Air Ambulance Aeroplanes
Life Flight provides a 24/7 nationwide air ambulance service transporting critically ill patients who urgently require specialist medical care only available in New Zealand's major centres.
Life Flight flies patients under the watchful eye of an expert medical care team. Life Flight can also allow a carer or family member to fly with the patient.
Air Ambulance transfers save lives or significantly reduce the long term effects of a person's injury or illness.
While some of the costs of these services are met by district health boards and ACC, about 30% of costs are met by the community. This means that for every mission flown, Life Flight requires around $2,500 from the community to make it happen.
