In the early morning of Thursday, February 11, the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter was tasked to a rural location just out of Taihape for a young patient suffering complications post-surgery.
Later that day, the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter attended a patient in Herbertville, a small settlement in the Tararua District, who was suffering a cardiac event. The patient was flown to Wellington Hospital for further treatment.
That same day, the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter attended a patient who had also suffered a cardiac event in Paraparaumu. The patient was also flown to Wellington Hospital for further treatment.
A great team effort from multiple New Zealand community rescue services, who allowed these rescue missions to take place.
