On Monday the on-duty crew for the TECT Rescue Helicopter were dispatched to Te Kaha.
A 35-year-old local woman had fallen from her tractor. She was assessed by the onboard Intensive Care Paramedic, identifying multiple injuries as a result, including a broken leg and internal injuries.
The patient was flown to Tauranga Hospital in a serious condition, carefully monitored by the onboard Intensive Care Paramedic.

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.
