On Tuesday the TECT Rescue Helicopter was tasked to Pukehina beach for a male who had a non-fatal-drowning.
The patient was treated at the scene by the onboard Intensive Care Paramedic and taken to Tauranga Hospital by ambulance.
Later the crew were tasked to Waihau Bay for a 7-year-old boy who had an allergic reaction to a bee sting. He was airlifted to hospital.
We here at the TECT 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.
