AAROI-EMAC AND LEONARDO SIGN AGREEMENT ON HELICOPTER EMS

A cooperation agreement between Leonardo, the main Italian industrial company and a world leader in the helicopter field, and AAROI-EMAC, association representing over 10,000 Physicians Anaesthetists of Critical Care, was recently signed in Vergiate, in Italy. Among its objectives there is the implementation of scientific, technical and organizational developments in the delicate and fundamental healthcare sectors in which they operate.

The agreement, entirely non-profit, was signed in order to develop synergies for higher levels of operational capability and safety for helicopter emergency medical personnel, the tip of the spear of critical care.

AAROI-EMAC experts’ advice on the evolution of techniques and HEMS medical procedures will allow joint study of criteria to meet training and upgrading needs. The agreement also includes the development of a dedicated training centre.
