A medical transport carried out with a Falcon 50 aircraft of the 31 ° Stormo di Ciampino of the Air Force in favor of a 2-month-old girl in Imminent Danger of Life (IPV) on the Catania / Rome Ciampino route has recently been completed. The transport, requested by the Prefecture of Messina, was necessary as the child urgently needed medical assistance.
The air mission was therefore managed from the Top Situation Room of the Air Squad Command, the operations room of the Air Force from where this type of interventions are coordinated, which had to foresee the presence of two on board the aircraft distinct medical teams who assisted the two patients during all phases of the flight.
The Summit Situation Room is the operations room of the Air Force which has among its tasks that of organizing and managing - in coordination with Prefectures, Hospitals and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - this kind of transport throughout the national territory.
The transport aircraft and helicopters of the Air Force are ready 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, to intervene for public utility missions such as the emergency medical transport of people in imminent danger of life, as happened last night , or that of organs and medical teams for transplants.
