Olbia-Ciampino flight to save a child

09/04/15

Yesterday a Falcon 50 of the 31 ° Stormo of Ciampino (Rome) carried out an urgent medical flight in favor of a very small child of just 20 months in imminent danger of life.

The Situation Room of the Rome Air Squad Command ordered the immediate execution of the first medical transport at the request of the Prefecture of Olbia. The aircraft reached the airport and, after embarking the little patient suffering from a serious illness, followed and assisted by a medical team, took off for Ciampino.

Waiting for the aircraft to return to Ciampino, there was an ambulance that promptly transported the little patient to the "Agostino Gemelli" University Hospital in Rome.

The aircraft of the 31 ° Stormo of Ciampino are used for the transport of state and for missions of public utility, such as emergency medical transport of patients, serious traumatized and transplant organs, as well as for interventions in favor of people however in risk situations. This last activity, given the imminent danger of life of the people transported, imposes a level of readiness, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
