“THE FLYING DOCTORS”
There are some countries in the world with vast, desolate area
which it is hard for any doctors to reach a patient in need of urgent medical help. In Kenya,
for example, a person could be near to death because of a snakebite whilst crossing the
Kenya National Park. The distance is so vast that the victim would probably not be alive by
the time he reached hospital.And so, the flying Doctor service would come into being. The
service is called by radio- a person just calls, says what has happened and where the
patient is, and the doctor flies in as soon as possible.
Countries such as Australia and Canada make widespread use of the flying
Doctors Services to provide medical cover to those remote areas were conventional
surface transport might take many more hours or even days.
Although fixed wing airplanes are faster, helicopters may be used because of their ability
to land very confined spaces like forest clearings or hospital roofs.
