20/01/14

On Thursday 16 January, a Falcon 50 aircraft from the 31 ° Stormo took off from Ciampino to Montichiari to pick up a child of just two years after a cycle of treatment received at the Brescia Civil Hospitals.

The little patient, suffering from a serious illness, needed continuous respiratory monitoring as well as specialized assistance during transfers. The parents and a specialized medical team traveled together with the child. Once in Palermo, the patient was picked up by an ambulance and transferred to the Department of Anesthesia and Pediatric Resuscitation of the Palermo Hospital.

The aircraft of the 31 ° Stormo of Ciampino are used for state transport and for public utility missions, such as emergency medical transport of the sick, severely traumatized and transplant organs, as well as for interventions in favor of people in any case in risk situations. This last activity, given the imminent danger of life of the transported people, imposes a level of readiness, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
