"Since its inception in October 1977, the helicopter ambulance has provided a vital service to communities which cannot support the medical 'specialties or the sophisticated equipment required for the treatment of critically-ill patients,"' Mr. Timbrell said. "Local doctors can now, without leaving their communities, quickly transfer their patients to major health centres confident that specially trained critical care personnel and sophisticated life support systems aboard the craft will ensure a safe journey. "The helicopter has also been effective in providing _ specialized care for critically-ill newborn infants. Teams of specialists can be flown to remote com- munities when local doctors have judged that all factors such as time, distance and travel are critical to maintaining the life of the infant."'. In total the helicopter has carried 520 patients, including 262 children and 258 adults. Flights have ranged from Earlton in the North, Chatham in the West, Port Colborne in the South and Ottawa to the East.
