Air ambulance project set for take-off

After five months on the ground, Ireland’s first charity-funded air ambulance is finally set for take-off — with a promise of delivering pre-hospital emergency care within 20 minutes to those in need.
The breakthrough agreement between the HSE and Irish Community Rapid Response (ICRR) will allow paramedics to bring medical equipment equivalent to that of a hospital emergency room to the scene of life-threatening incidents.
