At midday on Friday 30 October, the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter crew were dispatched to Mangakino to assist an ambulance crew with a 32-year-old patient who had an acute medical condition. The patient was treated and transported to Waikato Hospital for further care.
Not long after arriving back in Taupo, the crew was tasked to Rotorua for a patient who had full-thickness burns to both hands and arms. Due to the injuries, the patient was flown to the burns unit at Middlemore hospital.
We here at the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter have a policy of keeping the media informed of our work. We do this as a service to the media and in an effort to raise our profile with the public to assist with our fundraising campaigns. Our service is only possible because of sponsor support and donations. We appreciate seeing our name in any stories utilising information supplied by us.
