Savior in the air: Where does the new helicopter land in MV?

A crucial step in the air rescue for the region! Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania receives a fourth rescue helicopter to improve medical help in Northwest Mecklenburg, Ludwigslust-Parchim and Schwerin. At the moment, operations often have to be requested from other federal states, which results in long waiting times. Minister of Health Stefanie Drese (SPD) emphasizes the need for an additional air rescue station: "The current location distribution shows a gap in Westmecklenburg."

Now it's about the location of the new rescue helicopter. While Nordwestmecklenburg's district administrator Tino Schomann (CDU) pleads for stationing in Herren Steinfeld-in order to be able to supply large-scale centers within the legally required time of 15 minutes-favor the country and Ludwigslust-Parchim an area at Pampow south of Schwerin. This leads to an intensive dispute that even reached the state parliament. A Eurocopter H145 is to be procured, but it is not yet clear who will take over the company. Another step in the right direction for regional air rescue! Source: www.ostsee-zeitung.de
