Pilots of the Leh-based Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter unit evacuated two foreign nationals, Czech brothers Lucas and Tomas Pfeifer, from the higher reaches of Padam valley in the Zanskar ranges of the Ladakh region on 5 August. The brothers were among members of a Czech trekking expedition who were crossing a river near Testha Village in Zanskar Valley when Lucas Pfeifer was critically injured in a fall.
The North West Air Ambulance (NWAA), a helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) charity with headquarters outside Liverpool, UK, has announced it will move its aircraft to bases at two of the region’s dedicated trauma hospitals, allowing qualified doctors to travel onboard to incidents that require specialist clinical care on scene.
Dr Michael Weinlich has announced the names of the interim board members of the European Aero-Medical Institute (EURAMI), whom he appointed after the previous board members resigned en masse on 28 June citing conflict within the leadership.
On 26 July, the UK Department for Transport (DfT) published a further announcement on the companies shortlisted to participate in the ‘UK SAR Helicopter Services’ procurement process, narrowing the field to just three bidders.
