In the early hours of Sunday afternoon, the terminal in the city of Concordia received a flight that transported a patient to Uruguay.
The operation deployed involved the participation of ANAC (National Civil Aviation Administration), PSA (Airport Security Police), EANA (Argentine Air Navigation Company), the National Directorate of Migration, ARCA (Agency for Revenue and Customs Control), SENASA (National Food Safety and Quality Service), Sapper Firefighters, the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia, Control Tower personnel, Airport personnel (EDAAC), and the National Meteorological Service. This achieved a coordinated action among multiple actors in the health, security, transport, and logistics systems, which allowed it to be carried out within the expected time and with the intended objective.
The aircraft used in this transfer was a Beechcraft King Air B-200 from the company Aerovida, a firm founded and directed by doctors, which, with the well-being of patients in mind, has been dedicated to performing medical flights for over 36 years.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AIRPORT FOR MEDICAL FLIGHTS
In this way, the J.J. Pierrestegui airport, located in Concordia, province of Entre Ríos, reaffirms its strategic role within the health system, especially when it comes to medical flights and medical aero-evacuations.
It is not just a point of departure or arrival: it is often the link that defines the response time between an emergency and proper medical care.
