The second helicopter to provide emergency medical services by air landed in Bulgaria this afternoon, the Health Ministry said.
It will be used at the HEMS regional base in the city of Sliven. The eight air medical teams that will work there have also been formed. Each team consists of 9 doctors and 8 nurses, who have undergone the mandatory training and examinations required to meet the requirements of the European Aviation Medical Class 2.
At the beginning of June 2024, the first air mission was carried out in Bulgaria. To date, the teams of the Air Emergency Medical Centre have performed a total of 49 missions, six of them since the beginning of the year.
The third helicopter is expected to be delivered by the Italian contractor to the country by the end of March 2025.
