Ruijin hospital will set up Shanghai’s first Air Ambulance Center Base hospital. It will be tasked with building professional air ambulance service teams, formulating transfer standards and mechanisms through cooperation with local health authorities, the medical emergency center and other government departments. The city’s first helicopter equipped with first aid facilities will be introduced this year. At least five medical helicopters are needed to transport patients from different parts of the city and the Yangtze delta to hospitals. China and Czechia signed an air aid cooperation program. Under the program the Prague medical emergency services will over the next two years carry out training of medics, paramedics and managerial personnel at Ruijin hospital.
